Physiotherapy for Support at Home participants and former Home Care Package recipients

The Australian Government’s Support at Home program helps older Australians access care and services that support their independence and help them continue living in their own homes. The program replaced the former Home Care Packages (HCP) Program on 1 November 2025.

Anchor Community Physiotherapy provides personalised mobile physiotherapy for older adults across Inner Sydney and the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. We help older people work towards their mobility, strength, balance and rehabilitation goals in the comfort of their own homes.

What is the Support at Home program?

Support at Home is a government-funded aged care program for eligible older Australians who need support to continue living independently at home. Services are arranged according to assessed needs, individual care plans and available funding.

The program includes funding for clinical care, which can include physiotherapy. Physiotherapy may help older people maintain physical function, improve mobility, reduce falls risk and work towards meaningful everyday goals.

If you previously received a Home Care Package, your care will transition across to the new Support at Home program shortly. Your current provider can explain your individual funding arrangements and how to access services.

How can physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapy can play an important role in helping older adults maintain their independence and physical wellbeing.

At Anchor Community Physiotherapy, services may include:

• Falls prevention and balance training: Exercises and strategies to improve balance, stability and confidence with movement.

• Strength and mobility: Personalised exercise programs to support walking, transfers and everyday activities.

• Rehabilitation at home: Physiotherapy following illness, injury or hospital discharge, tailored to individual goals.

• Maintaining independence: Support to preserve physical function and continue participating in daily life.

• Exercise and movement guidance: Practical advice and exercises suited to each person's abilities, goals and home environment.

Every physiotherapy program is tailored to the individual's needs and circumstances.
