The Support at Home Pooled Funding Trial will enable older people who are co-located or part of close-knit communities to choose to combine part of their individual care budgets.
It aims to:
- improve value for money
- enhance access to services
- deliver in-home aged care that reflects older people’s needs and preferences.
Applications are encouraged from providers delivering services in:
- retirement villages
- rural and remote areas
- First Nations communities
- culturally diverse communities
- shared housing for people at risk of homelessness.
Outcomes from the trial may inform future funding models.
Successful grant applicants will be expected to participate in the trial’s formal evaluation activities.
