Supporting the community in ageing well at home.
As we get older, many of us need a little extra support to continue living safely and independently at home. My Aged Care provides funding for eligible older Australians to access personalised care and services that help them remain connected to their community and maintain their independence.
At 3Bridges, we work with you to create a personalised support plan that fits your goals, lifestyle and changing needs.
Our experienced team can provide a range of services including:
- Personal care
- Domestic assistance and household tasks
- Nursing care
- Allied health services
- Social support and community participation
- Transport
- Meal preparation
- Home and garden maintenance
- Simple modifications and assistive technology, are typically assessed by an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist.
Whether you need a little help each week or more comprehensive support, we’re here to help you live well at home.

Support Levels
Under the new Support at Home program, funding is based on your assessed care needs. Rather than the previous four Home Care Package levels, the program offers eight ongoing funding classifications, allowing support to be more closely matched to your individual circumstances. People with lower care needs receive a smaller funding allocation, while those with more complex needs receive higher levels of support. Additional short-term funding may also be available for restorative care, end-of-life care, assistive technology and home modifications where eligible.
For people with lower-level support needs, assistance may also be available through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). CHSP provides entry-level support services designed to help older Australians remain independent and living safely at home. Services can include domestic assistance, transport, meals, social support, personal care and home maintenance, depending on your assessed needs.
No matter your funding level or program type, our team works with you to ensure your services are flexible, personalised and aligned with your goals, helping you maintain your independence and quality of life.
