Many of Greater Shepparton City Council’s in-home support services, funded by the Commonwealth Government, will be directly managed by Calvary Community Care from 1 July 2020 with clients not impacted by the change.
The Australian Government funds the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and Calvary Community Care has been contracted by Council to provide in-home services for more than 17 years.
The Commonwealth Home Support Program (funded and established by the Australian Commonwealth Government) is an entry level program that assists those over the age of 65 years, (50 or over for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples) to continue living independently in their own home.
Calvary Community Care will directly receive funding from the Australian Government for these CHSP services, effective from 1 July 2020. Prior to this date, Council received the funding and administered the services with Calvary Community Care providing most of the services.
Clients will automatically become a client of Calvary Community Care CHSP in-home services and Calvary Community Care will consult with clients about their services at future reviews and update your records according to CHSP requirements/guidelines.
