We want to hear directly from in-home aged care providers to help us refine the new Support at Home program.
Under Support at Home, we will improve access to services, equipment and home modifications to help older people to remain healthy, active and socially connected to their community.
From 12 to 21 February 2024, we will be holding 8 online workshops that will focus on different aspects of the draft program design, such as care management, funding model and assistive technology.
Each online workshop will be 90 minutes long from 1pm – 2.30pm AEDT.
If you are interested in participating in one or more of these consultations, please fill out this short survey by 5pm AEDT, Wednesday 31 January 2024.
