A Home Care Package is a government-funded program aimed at helping older Australians maintain their wellbeing, safety, and independence within their own homes. The funding is allocated to a Service Provider, such as Cura, to organise a tailored package of care services to meet your specific needs. There are different levels of packages available to address varying care requirements. To learn more about these packages, contact our team.

To determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package, you must first register with the Government’s My Aged Care program. Alternatively, you can contact us, and we can assist you in starting the process. The My Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess various factors, including your age and the level of support you need, to determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is designed to help seniors access entry-level support services at a subsidised cost, enabling them to live independently and safely in their own homes. These services can range from community respite to in home services. It’s important to note that CHSP services are often provided before being assigned a Home Care Package.

No, it’s not possible to simultaneously utilise both CHSP and a Home Care Package (HCP). When you accept your Home Care Package, CHSP services will conclude, and your new services will be covered by your Home Care Package without the need to pay an additional subsidy.
