What Is Home Care?

Home care is aged care delivered in your home - designed to help you continue living independently for as long as possible.

Services may include:

  • Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing)

  • Cleaning, laundry, and household tasks

  • Meal preparation and shopping assistance

  • Nursing care and medication support

  • Transport to appointments or outings

  • Physiotherapy, podiatry, and allied health

  • Respite for family carers

  • Dementia and palliative care

Services can be funded through government programs, privately paid, or both.


Home Care Packages in Tasmania

Home Care Packages (HCPs) are designed for older Australians who require ongoing care at home. Packages are funded by the Australian Government and come in four levels:

  • Level 1 – Basic care needs

  • Level 2 – Low-level support

  • Level 3 – Intermediate care

  • Level 4 – High-level complex care

After a free assessment by My Aged Care, you’ll receive a referral code to connect with approved Tasmanian providers.


Support at Home Program (From November 2025)

The Australian Government is introducing the Support at Home program to replace the existing HCP and CHSP systems from 1 November 2025.

Benefits include:

  • Easier access to services

  • Greater flexibility and transparency

  • Standardised pricing across providers

  • A single, streamlined funding model

Aged Care Online will continue to update this page as the new system is implemented in Tasmania.
