Support at Home
Supporting independence. Empowering choice.
The Support at Home Program is a government-subsidised program that provides approved funding to help older Australians access care services that maintain independence and enhance quality of life.
Through this program, participants have the flexibility to choose the type of care and services they receive, how these are delivered, and the level of support that best suits their needs.
TeamHEALTH’s Support at Home services are available in Darwin and Palmerston.
What is Support at Home?
Support at Home is a new national aged care program commencing in November 2025. It will replace Home Care Packages and other existing programs, making aged care simpler, fairer, and easier to understand.
The program focuses on empowering older Australians to stay independent, safe, and connected in their own homes and communities.

At TeamHEALTH, we take the time to listen and understand what matters most to each person. Our services are flexible, transparent, and designed to support independence and wellbeing. With clear pricing and no hidden fees, you can plan your care with confidence and make the most of your Support at Home funding.
