A new chapter in aged care: everything you need to know in one place

Clearly arranged, easy to follow information about the new Aged Care Act.

From 1 November 2025, Australia’s aged care system saw one of its biggest transformations with the launch of the Support at Home (SAH) program.

This program replaces the Home Care Packages (HCPs) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) programs, creating a simpler and more flexible way to access in-home support.

It’s designed to make services fairer, easier to navigate, and better suited to each person’s needs.
