The Australian Government provides in-home support as people age. The Home Care Packages Program provides individualised coordinated care and services for people over 65 with complex ageing related care needs. It assists you to live safely and independently in your own home for as long as it is safe and appropriate to do so. The program supports you with daily activities that you used to do for yourself but may need assistance with now. It is not a general income support program like the Age Pension.
