Understanding Support at Home Packages

Support at Home Packages are Australian Government-funded programs designed to help older Australians remain living safely, independently and confidently in their own homes for longer. These packages provide funding for a range of essential supports and allied health services, including Exercise Physiology and rehabilitation, to help improve strength, balance, mobility and overall quality of life. By maintaining your physical function and independence, you can continue enjoying the activities you love while reducing your risk of falls and hospitalisation.

If you are eligible for Exercise Physiology services under your Support at Home package, your sessions can be 100% funded, with no co-contribution required. Our team can also liaise directly with your Support at Home provider, making it easy to access the services you’re entitled to and ensuring you get the most from your funding.

Eligibility

Does My Aged Care cover Exercise Physiology services for me?

Eligibility for Exercise Physiology services through My Aged Care, specifically through the Support at Home (SAH) Program, is dependent on several factors.

Firstly, to access the SAH Program, you need to register with My Aged Care and be referred for an assessment to check your eligibility.

Secondly, if you are deemed eligible for a Support at Home Package, you will be assigned a package at a specific level (Level 1 to 8) based on your assessed needs.

Each package level receives a different government subsidy rate.

Exercise Physiology services can be included in your care plan if they are required due to ageing-related functional decline. Exercise Physiology is an allied health service.

Is there a specific Support at Home Package level needed to access Exercise Physiology?

While SAH Levels 2 to 8 are generally eligible for these Exercise Physiology, it’s essential to remember that the ultimate decision rests with the ACAT. This means your specific circumstances and available funding will shape your care plan, ensuring that your journey towards better health is guided by your unique situation.
