Support at Home readiness checklist for small aged care teams.

What to keep in view right now

As of 4 July 2026, the Support at Home program is well into its first year. On 20 May 2026 the government announced it will pause the planned price caps for Support at Home services and add new consumer protections. Providers still need to set reasonable prices, publish the price they most frequently charge for each service on My Aged Care, and keep claims moving within the regular claiming deadlines. For most teams, the question now is not whether the reform is coming. It is whether the day-to-day setup is ready to keep up with it.

Records and service setup

• Client details and service locations are stored in one current place.
• Services, schedules, and funding assumptions are easy for the team to find.
• Notes and follow-up actions sit close to the client record instead of scattered across tools.
• Teams can quickly see what has changed and what still needs action.

Workforce coordination and daily delivery

• Staff can see the right shifts, notes, and tasks without extra reminders.
• Roster changes are visible quickly enough to avoid missed handoffs.
• Shift notes, check-in activity, and exceptions stay connected to the work delivered.
• Supervisors are not rebuilding context from messages and spreadsheets after the fact.

Approvals, claims, and finance follow-up

• Completed work moves into approvals without waiting on end-of-week clean-up.
• The team can clearly see what is approved, what is missing, and what is ready next.
• Claims for ongoing services are submitted within 60 days after the end of each quarter.
• Billing issues are spotted early enough to fix before they become a cash-flow problem.
