Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
Whether you already have the Commonwealth Home Support Program in place and just need some extra support, or just need to apply for it and get the support you deserve, we can help you!
Home Care, tailored to your needs!
If you, or someone you care about, would benefit from additional assistance then the Commonwealth Home Support Program may be the perfect solution.
The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) is an initiative providing extra assistance around the home, including a wide range of services which can be tailored to your individual requirements. Support is available with services including house cleaning, home maintenance services, social support and personal care.
Some of the situations where you might like to consider CHSP include if you have experienced the following:
– noticed that memory has become a bit challenging

To be eligible for this program you must be 65 years or older (50 years for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people).
