Aged Care on the Gold Coast
What is the Comonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is a government-funded service designed for older Australians who are living independently but need a little extra help to stay safe and well at home. CHSP offers low-level support such as personal care, help with household tasks, and access to social activities that keep you connected to your community.
If you're finding some daily tasks more difficult than before, CHSP might be right for you. Eligibility is based on age and your individual support needs. You may qualify if you are aged 65 or over (50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people), or 50+ (45+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and on a low income, homeless or at risk of homelessness. An aged care assessment will help determine your eligibility and the services you can access.
What is a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package (HCP) is a government‑subsidised program designed to help older Australians remain independent and safe in their own homes. It provides tailored, ongoing support services chosen to meet your individual needs—whether that’s assistance with personal care, household tasks, health and nursing support, allied health services, transportation, or social connection. Once approved through My Aged Care, you’ll receive funding at one of four package levels, allowing services to be arranged in consultation with Just Better Care Gold Coast.
Your allocated HCP funding is managed by Just Better Care Gold Coast, who works with you to create a personalised care plan. From light domestic assistance at Level 1 through to nursing and complex clinical needs at Level 4, these packages adapt to your changing care needs
Our care and support your way
Receiving care is a very personal thing, and everyone has different preferences when it comes to when, how and where they receive services and support. It’s why we design all our aged care services in close consultation with each of our customers, their families and carers.
Community of care
While we can support you with a range of in-home healthcare services, our professional team can also liaise with your other healthcare and allied health providers, including GPs, Physiotherapists and more—ensuring your health is always a priority.
Keeping a tidy home
Having a tidy, well-organised home can have a positive impact on your wellbeing. Our Support Workers can assist you with basic tasks around the home, like tidying or sweeping, to keep your home the way you like it.
In-home nursing support
Our team includes both registered and enrolled nurses who are available to fulfil a range of support requirements in your home, from administering medication to monitoring your clinical needs.
Getting out and about
Whether you’re looking for support in getting to and from work, assistance to attend a movie or community activity, or regular transport to and from a volunteer commitment, we can make a plan that’s right for you.
