A Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) with Juniper is all about keeping you independent at home, enjoying what you love in life, connected to your community.
CHSP is an entry-level programme for people 65 years or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) who can manage at home, but just need a bit of support for some tasks.
If you’re experiencing trouble with a few everyday tasks and feel that a little support could improve your health and wellbeing, then CHSP could be the perfect solution. It is also great as a short-term solution, perhaps after a hospital stay or recovering from an illness.
Who is eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme is designed for older Australians who need a little extra support to continue living safely and independently at home. Generally, you may be eligible if you are aged 65 years or older, or 50 years or older if you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.
CHSP is intended for people with lower-level care needs who can still manage at home but would benefit from help with everyday tasks such as cleaning, personal care, meal preparation, transport or social support. It can also provide short-term assistance following a hospital stay, illness or injury while you recover.
To access CHSP services, you’ll first need to complete an assessment through My Aged Care. Once you’re approved, you can choose Juniper as your preferred provider and begin receiving the services included in your assessment.
