Support Options
◆ Nursing, allied health and therapy services such as speech therapy, podiatry, occupational or physiotherapy services and other clinical services, such as hearing and vision services ◆ Transport and personal assistance includes assistance with shopping, visiting health practitioners and attending social activities ◆ Housekeeping and gardening such as help with domestic duties like cleaning your house or support to help you maintain your garden Being approved for HCP support may come as a huge relief to you and your loved ones, but this doesn’t automatically mean you will be able to access supports and funding straight away. You will be placed on a waiting list with packages distributed when they
become available based on priority and how long you have been waiting. Once you have been notified that a HCP is available for you, it will be up to you to find a service provider to deliver your home care services. You can read more about ‘Choosing a provider’ on page 122.
Special needs and supplements To support those with additional needs, the Government offers a range of package supplements which you may be eligible for in addition to your approved HCP. The Home Care Package supplements you may be able to access, depending on your eligibility and assessment, may include: ◆ The Dementia and Cognition Supplement
