When
The department says CHSP will transition no earlier than 1 July 2027. The date could change, so check for updates.
What changes
| CHSP today | Support at Home | |
|---|---|---|
| Funding | Grant to the provider | Individual quarterly budget |
| What clients pay | Client contribution | Contribution by service type and pension status |
| Getting paid | Grant, reported in DEX | Claims to Services Australia |
How to prepare
- Price each service, not just the grant.
- Keep each client's record complete, including their My Aged Care ID.
- Pick a system that already runs Support at Home, so you don't change twice.
How Care Nexus helps
Care Nexus already runs Support at Home alongside CHSP, so you won't need to change systems when the program moves.
- Quarterly budgets by classification, with care management in its own account.
- Participant contributions invoiced at each person's rate, with the lifetime cap tracked.
- Claims prepared in the Services Australia bulk-import format.
- CHSP and Support at Home services priced and invoiced side by side while both run.
