Ensuring Your Independence with Dedicated Support: Your Freedom, Our Commitment, a Future Secured

Home support services
At Bur-del, we are committed to providing culturally appropriate support for everyone in our community, including Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Australian South Sea Islander people, and individuals from non-Indigenous backgrounds. We prioritise understanding and respecting diverse cultural practices and beliefs to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, valued, and supported.

Extending A Helping Hand to Support Your Continued Independence

Home Support Services 

Home support services, also known as the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) are designed to provide entry-level support for older individuals, enabling them to maintain independence and live comfortably in their own homes and communities. Service providers collaborate with participants to offer assistance tailored to their needs, which mostly include daily tasks, home modifications, transportation, social support, and medical care. Additionally, the home support services offer respite services to provide caregivers with much-needed breaks. 

The core objectives of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme include:  

  • Supporting individuals to live life on their own terms. 
  • Working with participants rather than performing tasks on their behalf. 
  • Providing a moderate level of assistance tailored to individuals’ unique needs. 
  • Making a significant impact on the lives of many within the community. 
 

Most people in the home support program usually need just one or two services to help them stay independent. This shows that the commonwealth home support programme aims to give focused and helpful support where it’s most necessary.
