Changes are on the horizon with the introduction of the Australian Government’s Support at Home program due in July this year. The program is set to revolutionise how we receive and fund home care services, merging Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), Home Care Packages (HCP), Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC), into one cohesive system.
