CHSP
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is a government-funded initiative. It’s intended for seniors needing entry-level support for 1 or 2 everyday tasks.
Instead of paying privately (full cost) for home care services, you may only need to pay a contribution towards each service you use.
