Home Support Services fall into two categories: Personal Care support and Household Management support.
Personal Care support is defined as assistance with activities of daily living to enable a client to maintain their functional ability at the highest possible level. These activities include bathing, showering and dressing.
Household Management support is defined as a service which enables a client to manage their home. These services may include washing, household cleaning and the purchase of food.
Please note that government funding for household management support is only available to people who hold a current Community Services Card.
Personal Care and Household Management support are authorised as a number of hours per week.
