The Support at Home program
From 1 July, thousands of businesses will be eligible to provide government-funded support to older Australians for the first time.
The recently created Support at Home program will replace existing government-funded Home Care Packages and the Short-Term Restorative Care Program.
Support at Home allows businesses, including sole traders and partnerships, to become providers.
