Why acting quickly on the new Home Care Packages is crucial
19 Sept 2025
The Australian Government is releasing twenty thousand new Home Care Packages. That is welcome news, but demand for support at home is growing fast. Acting quickly and being prepared early can shorten your wait, help you lock in services sooner, and position you well before the next round of aged care reforms.
Demand is rising and queues will rebuild
Australia's ageing population continues to lift demand for home care. Extra packages will help for a short time, but they will be taken up quickly. If you start your application now, you are more likely to secure funding before queues grow again and delays return.
Early approval can help under Support at Home
The Support at Home program is approaching in late 2025. Entering the aged care system sooner can be a smart financial and practical move. Waiting could mean joining under different fee settings and new rules for how budgets are released and used, as well as longer wait times on the national waiting list.
The twenty thousand package release is a short window
This release will ease pressure for a limited period only. As more people seek approval ahead of the reforms, the window narrows. Applying now reduces the risk of longer waits later and gives you a clearer pathway to the support you want at home.
