Who this is for
Older people and families needing practical help with home safety, equipment or daily living.
We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- Home set-up and daily living focus
- Equipment and home modification options where appropriate
- Funding details checked early
Tell us what changed at home and the team checks whether an OT assessment is the right next step. We will confirm the service, location, funding option and next step with you.
What to send first
What to have ready when you call.
Mention what has changed at home, the person’s suburb, who is enquiring, and any aged-care funding or coordinator details.
- Current living situation and suburb
- What changed at home or in daily routines
- Aged-care funding, coordinator, or referral details
Equipment and home changes
Describe the bathroom, steps or equipment that is getting harder to use.
Grab rails, shower chairs, ramps, toilet raisers, bathroom access and personal alarms can raise different assessment questions. Call and describe the bathroom. We'll tell you on the phone whether it needs an OT assessment or not. See OT Equipment and Assistive Technology Assessments.
Support at Home and CHSP
Two programs, with different OT pathways.
Support at Home began on 1 November 2025 and replaced Home Care Packages and short-term restorative care. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme continues separately during its transition, currently no earlier than 1 July 2027.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme
CHSP: entry-level support at home
Common reasons to ask include a history of falling or high falls risk, living alone, and difficulty getting off the toilet or into the shower. An OT may assess whether a falls alarm, wheelie walker, grab rail, over-toilet frame or shower chair fits the person, task and home.
Support at Home
Support at Home: complex daily-living needs
Common reasons to ask include pressure-injury risk or management, difficulty with sit-to-stand or bed transfers, and difficulty accessing the community independently. An OT may assess pressure cushions or mattresses, electric recliner chairs or beds, and mobility scooters.
Where services include reablement or everyday wellness, the OT assessment considers safe, practical participation day to day. Have the person’s suburb, current aged-care assessment or provider details, and the main concern ready so the team can confirm service, location and funding fit.

Questions
Aged Care OT questions
Yes. Include the person’s location, current living situation, funding details, and what has changed so we can respond with the right next step.
We can discuss whether an Occupational Therapy assessment is suitable for equipment or home modification needs before a service is arranged.
Start with an enquiry. We will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment is the right next step.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service. Tell us what you have and we'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell us your funding type and we'll explain the costs before anything is booked.
