There are different types of home support available. The option you choose will depend on the level of care you need, how long you need it for, and whether you want to rely on government-subsidised services, private services or help from your personal networks. The main options are:

• basic or short-term support through the Commonwealth Home Support Program
• more or longer-term support with a Home Care Package
• private services
• or supports from personal networks and community.

Some people use a combination of these options to meet their needs.
