The Australian Government will invest an additional one-hundred-million dollars over two years to support senior Australians to remain living independently in their own homes.
The funding boost for providers of the five-point-five billion dollar Commonwealth Home Support Program will help grow five vital home services relied on by hundreds of thousands of people.
Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care, Ken Wyatt, says funding aims to give senior Australians more choices to remain living in their homes, close to their families and connected with their communities.
