Aged Care / Home Care Physiotherapy
What Is My Aged Care?
My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s gateway to aged care services, helping older Australians access the care and support they need to remain healthy, active, safe and independent in their own homes.
Through government-funded aged care programs, including Support at Home, eligible individuals may receive funding for a range of allied health services, including physiotherapy.
Depending on an individual's assessment, care needs and approved funding, physiotherapy services may include strength and balance training, falls prevention, mobility assessments, pain management, rehabilitation and personalised exercise programs to support independence and improve quality of life.
What Is a Home Care Package (HCP)?
Home Care Packages (HCP) are government-funded programs designed to help older Australians maintain their independence and continue living safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.
The Support at Home program, which replaced Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025, provides eligible individuals with funding for care and support services tailored to their needs. These may include personal care, domestic assistance, nursing, physiotherapy and other allied health services.
