Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides entry-level services for older Australians. This helps them live independently and safely in their own homes.
If you are 65 years or older (or 50 years or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and require some assistance with cleaning around the home or garden maintenance, contact us today to find out more about our CHSP services.
Unlike Support at Home which provides a more comprehensive package of support, CHSP provides fast access to entry-level services like domestic assistance or home and garden maintenance.
