Who is Eligible for Support at Home Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy under the Support at Home program is designed for older Australians who need help to remain safe, mobile, and independent at home. To access these services, you must first enter the Support at Home program through My Aged Care.
The process can be broken down into three steps:
- Organise an aged care assessmentStart by contacting My Aged Care, who will arrange an assessment to understand your care needs. This assessment considers factors such as your mobility, health conditions, and ability to manage daily activities.
- Receive a Support at Home packageAfter your assessment, you will be allocated a Support at Home package at a certain classification level. The level reflects the amount of support you are eligible to receive. Physiotherapy may be included as part of this package if it is identified as beneficial to your health and independence.
- Choose your providerYou then have the freedom to select an approved provider to deliver and coordinate the services in your package. We partner with all approved providers in our region to provide allied health services so if physiotherapy has been recommended, we can step in to provide personalised, in-home therapy tailored to your needs and goals.
Importance of Physiotherapy Under the Support at Home Program
As we age, it is common to experience reduced strength, balance difficulties, joint stiffness, or mobility issues. These can increase the risk of falls, reduce confidence, and affect the ability to continue enjoying daily life. Physiotherapy can make a profound difference in preventing these issues and helping older adults live independently for as long as possible.
Through Support at Home, physiotherapy services can include:
- Falls prevention programs – tailored exercise plans to improve balance and stability.
- Mobility training – assistance with walking aids, posture, and gait retraining.
- Pain management – strategies for arthritis, osteoporosis, or chronic pain conditions.
- Rehabilitation – recovery support following surgery, injury, or hospital stays.
- Strength and conditioning – targeted exercises to maintain muscle mass and endurance.
- Education and advice – practical strategies for safe movement and preventing injury.
Every plan is personalised, meaning our physiotherapists consider your goals, home environment, and health conditions when designing your therapy.
More Than Just Physio – We Focus on Quality of Life!
Physiotherapy under Support at Home is not just about treating people– it is about enhancing quality of life. Whether that means being able to walk safely to the letterbox, keep up with grandchildren, or enjoy hobbies like gardening or walking the dog, physiotherapy helps make those everyday moments possible.
We believe that ageing should not mean giving up independence. With the right support, older adults can continue to enjoy fulfilling and active lives. We look forward to hearing your meaningful goals!
