Supporting Older Australians to Live Independently at Home
At SA Disability Care, we are committed to helping older Australians live safely, independently, and comfortably in their own homes. Through the Australian Government’s new Support at Home Program, we provide flexible and personalised aged care services designed to support individual needs and improve quality of life.
The program offers easier access to in-home care, assistive equipment, and home modifications that promote safety, wellbeing, independence, and social connection. Our compassionate team is dedicated to delivering reliable support that helps older Australians remain connected to their families, communities, and daily routines while continuing to live confidently at home.
What is the Support at Home Program?
The Support at Home Program is a new model of aged care that brings together different services into one flexible, personalised system. It’s designed to reduce complexity, improve access, and give older Australians more control over their care.
Instead of separate programs, the Support at Home model offers one clear pathway for those aged 65 and over (or 50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) to receive help with everyday tasks, health services, home safety, and social connection.
At SA Disability Care, we are already preparing for this transition and are ready to guide our clients through every step of the process.
