Support at Home Funding
Support at Home funding and classifications explained
Making your funding work for you
- Understanding your funding
Support at Home program provides eight funding classification levels, each with an associated amount of funding.
When you are approved for the Support at Home program, you will receive a budget to pay for the services listed in your support plan, which is determined during your aged care assessment.
The higher your care needs, the higher your classification and the larger your budget.

If I have concerns I can contact a member of the Co-ordination Team. Without exception this group consists of patient, understanding, helpful, very kind personnel who are skilled listeners. They respond promptly and never fail to provide a fast positive outcome.”
