Support for older people​
The Australian Government subsidises Bathurst Seymour Centre’s range of supports for older people. The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) is an entry level program for older people needing just a little extra support to stay living independently at home. All people seeking CHSP support must first be assessed as eligible by My Aged Care. There is a flowchart below that shows how My Aged Care works.
The CHSP provides funding to the Centre to subsidise the costs of:Â
- social support group activities at the Centre
- individual social support activities
- transport to and from the Centre, if needed
- lunch for clients attending the Centre.
