Reassessment Guidance
If daily life has become more difficult or your current support no longer meets your needs, it could be time to request a reassessment.
You may benefit from a reassessment if:
✔ Your health or mobility has declined
✔ Everyday activities such as showering, dressing or preparing meals are becoming more difficult
✔ You’ve experienced a fall, hospital admission or recent illness
✔ You’re living with increasing memory loss or cognitive changes
✔ Your partner, family member or informal support network is no longer able to provide the same level of assistance
✔ Your current funding isn’t covering the support you now require
✔ You’re receiving CHSP services but finding it difficult to access the help you need
Many people don’t realise they may qualify for additional funding until they speak with someone who understands the system.
Currently Receiving CHSP Services? When Entry-Level Support Is No Longer Enough.
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is designed for older Australians who require lower levels of assistance to remain living independently at home.
As circumstances change, many people find they need more regular support than CHSP can provide. A reassessment may help you access additional government-funded services including:
- Personal care
- Domestic assistance
- Transport
- Social support
- Nursing services
- Allied health
- Assistive technology
- Home modifications
- Ongoing care management
Already Receiving Support at Home? Is Your Current Funding Still Right For You?
Support at Home funding is intended to reflect your current care needs—not the needs you had several years ago.
If your health, mobility or personal circumstances have changed since your last assessment, you may be eligible for a higher level of funding.
A reassessment is commonly requested following:
- Reduced mobility
- Falls or hospital admissions
- Progressive medical conditions
- Increased personal care requirements
- Memory or cognitive changes
- Reduced family support
- Greater clinical or allied health needs
If you’re regularly reaching your funding limit or delaying services because your budget doesn’t stretch far enough, it may be time to explore a reassessment.
Understanding the aged care system can feel overwhelming, particularly when you’re already managing changing health needs.
