Home health & care

Your Support at Home statement is on its way. Learn what to expect and what your statement includes.

Everyone receiving home care support has the right to be safe, treated with dignity and respect, and receive high quality care and services.

Assessment of care needs is the foundation of our home care system.

Anyone who is looking after someone with disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or an older person with care needs can access the Australian Government’s Carer Gateway services.

Active ageing is more than physical movement.

As we age, staying active doesn’t have to mean intense workouts or gym memberships.

Before SunSmart campaigns began to change the relationship we have with the harsh Australian sun, many of today’s older people were exposed to strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation, often for many decades without realising the dangers.

On 1 November 2025, Australia’s aged-care system entered a new era, with the launch of Support at Home.
