Commonwealth
Home Support Programme

What is the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) can help older people with low level support needs. This entry-level support service helps you maintain your independence in your own home.

Available CHSP supports include:

  • Social support (individual): we can accompany you to the shops, to attend appointments and social activities or any other outings.
  • Transport: we can take you out and about in the community.
  • Wellbeing and social connection groups: take part in a range of activities and connect with your community. View our current timetable here.

If you have higher level or complex care needs, our Support at Home packages may be a better option.
