If you are eligible for Department of Veterans’ Affairs-funded services and you are over the age of 65 years, you may also be eligible to receive services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program so long as there is no duplication of specific services being provided. For example, you may access Veterans’ Home Care for domestic assistance and personal care, but also receive transport and delivered meals through the Commonwealth Home Support Program.
Costs: The funding program through which you access aged care services at home will determine whether you need to pay for any services. Any fees will be discussed with you prior to receiving services.
