You will be referred for an assessment. The assessment will determine if you are eligible for a Support at Home package and which package level best meets your care needs. ​​​
The Restorative Care Pathway
The Restorative Care Pathway focuses on clinical and allied health support. the aim is to keep you independent by building your strengths and capabilities.
You can access this pathway while still receiving your ongoing care package. It offers an intensive 12 weeks of restorative support through allied health services.
It may be extended to 16 weeks if assessed as beneficial.
Medicare funded services
Individuals may access allied health services under Medicare if they have a chronic (or terminal) medical condition and a GP has provided a chronic disease management plan. The GP must provide the referral for the relevant allied health services. The number of Medicare subsidised visits for any particular allied health service is limited to a maximum of five consultation/sessions per calendar year.
