Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CHSP and a Home Care Package?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides entry-level assistance with one or two daily tasks. Home Care Packages (Levels 1–4) provide coordinated funding for individuals with complex, ongoing care requirements.
How much does home care cost in Adelaide?
NDIS participants receive fully funded support under Core Supports with zero out-of-pocket care fees. Government-subsidized aged care packages may require basic daily fee contributions depending on income assessments.
Can I switch home care providers in Adelaide?
Yes. You have full freedom of choice and control over your care. Funding is tied to you, not the agency. You can switch home care providers at any time by giving standard contractual notice to your existing provider.
