Tender Description
The Support at Home program helps older people remain in their home as they age. The program supports delivery of coordinated care and services to meet an individual’s assessed ageing-related care needs.
Support at Home is designed to be a person-centred program that supports aged care providers to deliver services that treat older people as unique individuals. Under the Aged Care Act 2024, older people have the right to quality and safe aged care services, with their individual identity, culture, spirituality, and diversity valued and supported.
The Support at Home Pooled Funding Trial (the trial) is part of the Support at Home program. The trial will test whether pooling a portion of participants’ budgets in a group setting can improve service delivery and support older people to access more services through creating economies of scale.
The trial involves Support at Home participants accessing services on a more flexible or as-needed basis, similar to that of a subscription model. For example, residents of a retirement village may choose to subscribe to access 24/7 nursing support, rather than arranging individual nursing services separately. Participants from a particular cultural or linguistically diverse group could coordinate some of their funding to access group social support and activities, or other niche service offerings, in their primary language.
This grant opportunity invites Support at Home providers to apply to participate in the trial. It will award funding to successful grant applicants to compensate them for the additional administrative costs incurred by managing and delivering the trial. This funding will be paid in addition to the subsidy that providers are eligible for under the Aged Care Act 2024.
