COMMONWEALTH HOME SUPPORT PROGRAM
The CHSP program provides for the delivery of in-home and day care services (domestic, personal care, meals, transport, advocacy, and social interaction) to frail elderly and younger disabled people based on assessed need. These services are delivered by community members and enable clients to stay at home in their communities longer, rather than having to move to residential care, far away from country in a regional centre.
Eligibility for this program is based on your support needs and age.
If you are having trouble with everyday tasks and feel that a little support could improve your health and wellbeing, CHSP could be right for you.
An aged care assessment will determine your eligibility for the CHSP, including specific services.
