This pathway aims to reduce reliance on longer-term services by helping you get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Support may include:

• Allied health and nursing support for up to 16 consecutive weeks
• Programs to improve strength, balance and mobility
• Dietitian consultations to support healthy, independent living
• Minor home modifications, like grab rails and ramps
• Access to assistive technology and mobility aids

Eligibility: Support at Home participants may access this pathway up to twice per 12-month period. Terms and eligibility conditions apply.

This pathway provides access to a higher level of in-home aged care services for people with a life expectancy of three months or less, helping them remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own home for as long as possible.

Older people can be referred for a high-priority assessment to access this support

Eligible individuals may receive up to $25,000 in funding, which can be used over a 16-week period to access the care and support they need.

The AT-HM Scheme makes it easier for participants to access assistive technology and home modifications they need — without having to save up funds from their individual care budgets.

If funded, under the Support at Home program:

• Eligible participants will be assessed for their assistive technology or home modification needs. 
• At the time of assessment, eligible participants will be assigned a funding tier based on the level of support required.
• Funding can also include the cost of allied health prescriptions and wraparound supports, ensuring the safe and effective use of the equipment or modifications provided.

The Assistive Technology and Home Modifications List (AT-HM List) details the approved products, equipment and home modifications available through the scheme.
