What is Personal Activities Support for Aged Care?
For older adults in the Hunter, Newcastle and surrounding regions, NHCH offers comprehensive Personal Activities Support services.
Personal activities support in aged care refers to assistance for older people with various daily personal activities and tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, and mobility. Older individuals who cannot perform these activities independently due to their age can seek support from dedicated caregivers with personal activities at home or in a community setting.
Depending on your age and eligibility, this support may be funded through government programs like the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) or Home Care Packages. Contact NHCH today to check available funding options.
Individuals can contact an approved aged care provider like NHCH to access the services they need. We can also help you assess your needs and apply for appropriate funding or support packages based on your eligibility. These include Home Care Packages by My Aged Care, which covers a range of aged care services including personal activities support, and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) offering entry-level support for older people, including assistance with daily living tasks and personal activities.

The Regional Assessment Service will work with you to develop a personalised home support plan tailored directly to your needs. Assessors send a ‘referral for service’ to appropriate providers, such as Newcastle and Hunter Community Health, to let them know you are a new client and would like to engage their services. The provider will contact you to make further arrangements.
Alternatively, if you would like to visit or speak to a service provide to decide if they are the right fit for you, a ‘referral code’ can be sent which allows them to view your client record. The provider will review your identified needs and determine how they can assist. You then make the final decision on whether or not to engage their services.
If you’re seeking funding under the My Aged Care plan or already have a care package, we can assist you to get the most out of your plan and access affordable care services.
