There are several government-funded programs that support frail older people to remain living at home for as long as possible:

• Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
• Veterans’ Home Care (VHC)
• Home Care Packages
• Home Care Eligibility
• Home Care Package Rights

The first two programs provide a basic level of support. Home Care Packages provide for more complex care needs. You can only receive assistance from one of the above programs at any one time.
