What is the difference between Support at Home and paying privately?
Support at Home is the Australian Government program for aged care at home. It started on 1 November 2025, replaced Home Care Packages, and starts with an aged care assessment through My Aged Care. Services then come through one registered provider the older person chooses. Paying privately needs no assessment: you pay the provider directly, at their price, and help can start as soon as you find the right provider.
