Commonwealth Home Support Programme in Victoria
We know how important remaining independent and safe in your own home is, especially as you get older or deal with health issues. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides you with basic, everyday support services in your own home to keep you living life the way you want to. It can include a range of services from help with simple tasks so you can remain social and active, to in-home nursing and allied health services to keep you strong and healthy. These services are designed to support your lifestyle and comfort to keep you healthy, happy and active.
In partnership with APTO Group, we are now providing Home Care services in parts of Victoria, and under your funded package, you might be eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme. Call us today to find out more on 1300 650 803.

Health care
