From 1 July 2025, Support at Home will replace the Home Care Packages (HCP) Program, in response to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Support at Home aims to better support older people to remain independent at home, as well as ensures higher levels of care for those with complex needs who require more help to remain at home.
Support at Home will have new assessment and classification arrangements to ensure the program is more equitable.
Services can be delivered in your home or, if you prefer, in the EPIS Day Centres
Clients aged 65 years and over (50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) are assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) and a care plan is developed with the client that supports restorative care to promote ongoing independence and self-determination where possible.
EPIS can provide the services specified for you in your approved care plan and advocate and support you when a plan review is required.
EPIS can support you through the application process for these services.
