This aged care change could save families thousands From 1 October, older Australians receiving Support at Home will no longer pay out-of-pocket for essential personal care services, including: • Showering and bathing • Dressing • Personal care • Non-clinical continence support This comes after concerns that some older Australians were paying significant co-payments for basic daily care. For many families, those extra costs created unnecessary stress and forced difficult choices. This change means essential care can remain exactly that, essential. Most importantly, it helps older Australians maintain their dignity, independence, and quality of life at home without added financial pressure. You don't need to do anything right now. The changes automatically begin on 1 October and won't affect services delivered before then. If you know someone receiving Support at Home, or planning to start their care journey at home, save this post for later and share it with them.
