Aged Care Support

The COVID-19 Aged Care Support Program will reimburse eligible aged care providers for expenditure incurred on managing direct impacts of COVID-19.

The Program will run over two years from 2019-20 to 2020-21 and will assist Residential Aged Care, National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program and Home Care Package providers that are subject to direct COVID-19 impacts to deliver continuity of safe quality care for consumers.

Eligible applicants can apply for funding for each impacted service for the periods between the date on which the resident, staff member or client is tested for COVID-19 and the date on which direct COVID-19 impacts are resolved (i.e. no infected or isolated residents, staff members or clients).

Eligible applicants are:
* An approved Residential Aged Care provider with one or more services directly impacted by COVID-19; and/or
* An approved National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Provider with one or more services directly impacted by COVID-19; and/or
* An approved Home Care provider one or more services directly impacted by COVID-19.
