The new Aged Care Act started on 1 November; this means that the Support at Home program has also now commenced, replacing Home Care Packages
and the Short Term Restorative Care Program. The My Aged Care website has been updated to reflect these changes.
We know that people have questions about what has changed as part of these reforms – and what it means to them. You will find links and resources below to help you access the information and support you need.
