Support at Home - from July 1, 2025

The Australian Government is making changes to in-home aged care.

From July 1 there will be a new Support at Home program.

If you already have a Home Care Package and receive support services from Anglicare, we will help you to transition to Support at Home.

And from July 1, the same friendly team at Anglicare will continue to deliver your services.

The latest information about the Support at Home program is available from the Australian Government.

In the lead-up to the July 1 start date, Anglicare will contact you to explain the arrangements for Support at Home.
