Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Support at Home program and how is it different from Home Care Packages (HCP)?
The new Support at Home program, beginning in November 2025, is the next step in improving in-home care. It replaces the Home Care Packages (HCP) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) programmes, making access to care simpler, faster and more flexible.
What’s new:
- Funding is managed through quarterly budgets rather than yearly packages.
- A defined service list shows exactly what’s included.
- Care management funding is set at 10% of each quarterly budget.
- A new Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme supports equipment and home adjustments.
If your needs change, you can be re-assessed and moved to a higher classification under Support at Home.
How much will aged care services cost?
Your costs depend on your funding level and income. The government contributes a subsidy based on your assessed needs, and you may be asked to make a small contribution if you’re able. At Leora, we’ll always provide a clear, upfront breakdown before you begin services. No hidden fees, ever.
Can I still receive services if I don’t have Support at Home or Home Care Package funding?
If you do not have Support at Home or Home Care Package funding but require support services now, you can self-fund the services you need in the interim. Reach out to us and we can discuss your needs!
Can Leora help me apply for Support at Home funding?
