Details of the types of care available.
As we age, our needs change, and we may require additional support at home.
There are three main types of government funded in-home care programs available: Home Care Packages (HCP), the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and Out of Hospital Care (OHC). Each of these programs operate differently, with different levels of care, and different eligibility criteria.
