Can I Use More Than One Support at Home Provider?
Understanding the Support at Home Model
The upcoming Support at Home Program is all about simplifying life for older Australians. Instead of managing several organisations, coordinating separate services, and dealing with multiple calls, you’ll now work with one registered Support at Home provider who oversees everything.
This shift is designed to reduce stress, increase consistency, and help you spend more time living your life while your provider handles the paperwork, scheduling, support coordination, and nursing services behind the scenes.
Why the Program Now Focuses on One Main Provider
For many older Australians, juggling providers becomes overwhelming. One team for personal care. Another for transport. A third for meal support. And eventually, far too much confusion.
To make life easier, the Support at Home model brings everything under one umbrella.
With one main Support at Home provider, your approved supports from in-home care to daily living assistance to nursing services are organised through a single point of contact.
This ensures:
Clear communication
Less administrative stress
More coordinated care
Better planning and continuity
Can You Receive Care From Multiple Providers?
In most cases—no.
Under the Support at Home program, you will partner with one registered provider who manages and coordinates all your approved services.
And yes, at first, this may feel different if you’re used to having multiple organisations. But here’s the good news: this new approach actually enhances the quality, safety, and reliability of your supports.
Your main provider will take care of:
Personal care
Domestic assistance
Meal preparation
Transport
Social support
Nursing services
Allied health (if approved)
Everything is done through one streamlined plan.
Why Having One Provider Matters
Let’s break this down in a simple, conversational way.
✔ Less confusion
No more calling three different numbers or explaining your health needs repeatedly. One provider coordinates your entire plan.
✔ Better communication
When one team manages all supports personal care, in-home care, disability support, and nursing services—nothing gets lost or duplicated.
✔ More personalised care
Your provider truly gets to know you—your routines, preferences, mobility needs, and goals.
✔ Clear accountability
One provider means clearer responsibility for safety, quality, and day-to-day coordination.
✔ More peace of mind
You feel supported, informed, and never left wondering who does what.
How to Choose the Right Support at Home Provider
Because your Support at Home provider becomes your single point of coordination, choosing the right one is absolutely important.
Your provider should:
- Listen to you without rushing
- Explain costs clearly
- Respond promptly
- Adjust your care when your needs change
- Understand disability support, aged care support, and nursing services equally well
- Prioritise your independence and comfort
You deserve a partner who respects your choices and supports your wellbeing every step of the way.
