Support at Home (SaH) supports older people with more complex care needs to live independently in their own homes. Under the Aged Care Act 1997, the Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved provider of home care, chosen by the older Australian, to coordinate a package of care, services, and case management to meet their individual needs. EGHS operates a small but growing number of Support at Home budgets. This program is offered to members of the community of Ararat and surrounds who have been assessed to receive Support at Home.
