SO WHAT ARE THE CHANGES
The Australian Government is launching a new Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme on November 1, 2025, as part of the new Support at Home Program. This scheme replaces the previous system for these supports and provides funding for products like wheelchairs or home modifications based on assessed needs, rather than requiring participants to set aside funds from their personal budget. This new approach ensures that AT-HM funding is separate from regular support budgets, allowing for upfront access to these supports.
Key features of the AT-HM scheme
Funding: Provides dedicated funding for assistive technology and home modifications through a new standalone scheme.
Access: Participants get access to these supports based on their aged care assessment, and funding is included in their support plan.
Provider responsibility: A single Support at Home service provider will be responsible for arranging and sourcing the required AT-HM supports.
Funding tiers: Funding is provided in tiers (Low, Medium, High) and may exceed these limits if medically required.
