Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

A little support can help you keep doing the things you enjoy.

As we get older, everyday tasks can sometimes become a little harder. Having the right support can help you stay independent, continue your routines and remain connected to your community.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides practical assistance for older people who only need a little extra help to continue living at home.
