The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) provides services that support older people to stay at home and be more independent in the community. If you want to stay in your own home, but need some help with daily tasks, or require basic care, the CHSP may be able to help.
CHSP is a basic home help program funded by the Australian Government. It is for older people who are mostly – but not completely – able to live and cope on their own, and don't yet need higher levels of care at home. To get care at home, you only need a simple, straightforward assessment of your situation to work out what's best for you.
