Compacks
To be eligible referrals have to be completed by the discharge planners before being discharged from a public hospital-forwarded to Community Options Australia (Sydney).
Compacks is a case-managed service that when discharged from hospital includes a brokerage pack age of care up to 6 weeks after discharge from hospital. This service is for people who need two or community services to ensure that they can return home safely with the appropriate care in place.
We plan and coordinate a package of care to suit each of our clients individualised needs.
Before Compacks finishes, the case manager links clients to any necessary on going services and/or arranges placement on waiting lists.
Commonwealth Home Support Packages (CHSP)
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is a Government initiative subsidising in home or Centre based care services to seniors needing low level assistance to remain living independently in their own home.
To be eligible for this program, you must be aged: 65 or over (50 or over for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people), or 50 years or older (45 years or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and on a low income, homeless, or at risk of being homeless.

Commonwealth Home Care Packages (HCP)
There are four levels of support:
- Home Care Level 1 – basic care needs
- Home Care Level 2 – low level care needs
- Home Care Level 3 – intermediate care needs
- Home Care Level 4 – high care needs
The Home Care Packages Program helps older Australians with complex care needs to live independently in their own homes.
During the assessment process each individual’s priority for care is also determined.
Individuals approved for a home care package are placed on a national queue until a package becomes available and is assigned to them.
Home care package recipients are not limited to a basic list of services.
The Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved provider of home care to coordinate a package of care, services and case management to meet the individual needs of older Australians.
