Planning In-Home Care Under Support at Home? Start Here
Australia’s aged care system is changing. From mid-2025, the new Support at Home program will replace the current Home Care Packages, aiming to make in-home support more flexible, transparent, and focused on individual needs.
Whether you're looking for a little help around the house or more structured support after a hospital stay, understanding how the system works — and what funding you may be eligible for — is an important first step.
That’s why we built planner.localguardians.com
This simple tool helps you:
Build a care budget based on your personal goals — like cleaning, transport, meals, or help after hospital
See what the government pays, and what (if anything) you might be asked to contribute
Get a personalised plan emailed to you in under a minute
It’s a simple, free private way to explore how Support at Home funding could apply to your real-life care needs — whether you're planning ahead or helping a loved one.
