Explore a broad range of aged care solutions across Tasmania - from Hobart and Launceston to regional communities. Whether you’re seeking residential aged care, home care support, or retirement living, Tasmania offers accredited services dedicated to ensuring the comfort, independence, and well-being of older Australians.
Tasmania offers a range of residential aged care homes providing 24/7 support in secure, comfortable environments. These facilities are designed to support older people with daily living, medical assistance, and social engagement.
For those wishing to age in place, Tasmania offers home care and community support services that help maintain independence in familiar surroundings:
Home Care Packages (HCP) - These structured packages provide personalized care plans, including assistance with personal care, domestic tasks, nursing, and social support delivered at home.
Tas HACC (Home & Community Care) Program - Funded by the Tasmanian Government, this program supports eligible individuals (under 65, or under 50 for First Nations people) with essential daily living activities, enhancing their capacity to live independently.
A professional needs assessment (via My Aged Care’s Aged Care Assessment Team system) is essential for accessing government-subsidized aged care services. It guides eligibility for home care, respite, or residential care support across Tasmania.
Launching 1 November 2025, the national Support at Home program will replace both the Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care programs. It’s a key component of broader aged care reforms aimed at enabling older Australians to live independently at home as long as possible.
Key features include:
Eight support levels with greater funding flexibility, including short-term care pathways (restorative and end-of-life) and an assistive technology & home modifications scheme.
Funding distributed quarterly, with provisions to carry over unused amounts.
A transition plan ensuring current Home Care Package recipients move into Support at Home without losing benefits.
