From 1 November 2025, Support at Home replaced the old Short-Term Restorative Care Programme.
This short-term help is now called the Restorative Care Pathway. It is designed to help older people build strength, stay independent, and keep doing everyday things at home. The program can include support from health professionals like nurses and allied health workers, depending on their recovery needs.
Contact Multicultural Care for assistance with the Restorative Care Pathway.
It may be useful if someone:
To access the Restorative Care Pathway, a person needs an aged care assessment. During the assessment, the assessor will look at the person’s needs.
Transition care is usually for up to 12 weeks, and in some cases it can be extended by up to 6 more weeks.
You pay nothing for Clinical Supports, like nursing or physiotherapy. These are fully funded by the government. You will need to contribute to the cost of the Independence and Everyday Living services. Contributions are based on an income and assets assessment.
