About this event

Is your service ready for the Support at Home Program?

The 'Support at Home Program' will be introduced in July 2023. It is a key element of the Australian Government’s response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. The 'Support at Home Program' will consolidate current home care programs including the Home Care Package Program, the Commonwealth Home Support Program, and the Short-Term Restorative Care Program.

It will bring significant changes to the way home care services are delivered and funded. Home Care providers who understand the changes will be positioned to identify and assess the implications of these changes. Design and development of the 'Support at Home Program' are underway and whilst there is still much to learn there are already some signposts to the future.

How can we deliver results for you and your organisation?

You will come away from this webinar with an enhanced understanding of the changes that the 'Support at Home Program' will bring and an awareness of its implications for your organisation.

This webinar will focus on equipping your organisation to recognize and respond to what is required to be an effective 'Support at Home' provider and to identify and act on any current barriers to successful service delivery.

You will come away with practical guidance about initial steps that you can take to plan and prepare for your transition to the 'Support at Home Program'.
