Commonwealth Home Support Program (HSP)

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

The National Aged Care Alliance is a representative body of peak national organisations involved in the aged care sector.
They have produced a paper (September 2013) outlining the proposed development and design of the Home Support Program.

Below is an extract from the paper and the link to read it in its entirety.

”This paper provides advice on the development and design of the Commonwealth Home Support Program (HSP) announced as part of the Living Longer Living Better (LLLB) aged care reforms. The HSP is to commence operation from 1 July 2015 and will combine the existing Home and Community Care (HACC) Program, National Respite for Carers Program (NRCP), Assistance for Care and Housing for the Aged (ACHA) and the Day Therapy Centre (DTC) Program.
The National Aged Care Alliance (the Alliance) believes this provides an opportunity to create a program that will serve the longer term needs of Australia’s ageing population. With this in mind, along with the current system requirements and operation, the Alliance has designed an outline of the Home Support Program as well as a longer term vision to support people living at home. What is done in the short to medium term must support a longer term vision to deliver quality services to all older Australians who need them.”
