Government-funded in-home care
Support at Home is the Australian Government's in-home aged care program. It helps older people stay living safely and independently at home, with support arranged around their goals.
Support at Home brings together everyday help, personal care, allied health and clinical support under one program, so the right support can be arranged as needs change over time.
GOCSA can help you understand the program in plain language — in English or Greek — and support you through assessment and getting started.
The support you receive is shaped around an assessment of your needs and goals.
Support at Home is accessed through My Aged Care. We can guide you through each step.

You choose who delivers your support — this is where GOCSA can help.
Program rules, eligibility and any contributions depend on your individual assessment and current government arrangements. We'll always explain what applies to you before anything begins — and never make eligibility or fee promises on your behalf.
If you've still got questions, we may be able to help here — and you're always welcome to ask us directly.
Talk to a real person about care for yourself or someone you love. There's no pressure, and no cost to ask.
