CHSP Services Perth

We provide government-funded support services for entry level needs.

If you want to stay living in your own home, but need some help with some daily tasks, then you may have been approved for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).

The CHSP helps older Australians access entry-level support services to live independently and safely within their own home. At Brightwater, we focus on providing quality aged care services to enable you to maintain your independence, just with a little help from us.

What will it cost me

The Australian Government heavily subsidises our Commonwealth Home Support Programme services, so that your fees stay reasonable and affordable. Generally your contribution to help cover the cost of services is approximately $15 per hour or $7.50 per half hour for each service you receive from us. Under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme there are no exit fees or other fees to worry about.

How to get started with us

If you have been approved for the Commonwealth Health Support Programme, you would have found out in your face-to-face appointment with your assessor. Once you have been provided with the Referral Code for a service, give us a call and we can chat if our services are right for you. Call us on 1300 223 968.

We will need the referral code for each service you are eligible for. If you have misplaced your codes, you can log in to your online My Aged Care account to view the codes. Using your referral codes, we can view your online account, accept the referral, and start organising your services.

Depending on the number of services you require, we can arrange for one of our client coordinators to visit you at home to develop a detailed support plan. During this visit we sort out details such as the exact services you require, how often you require them and your preferred times to have our care workers call on you.

What if I need more support?

You'll be funded by CHSP if you haven’t been assessed as needing a Home Care Package yet. But don’t worry – you can always get reassessed if your needs change.

In the meantime, we can provide top-up home care services if your funding won’t cover the services you want, including dog walks, creative sessions, home modification, physiotherapy, podiatry and much more! If you choose to top-up services, you can pay for these privately.
