What are companionship services?
Companionship services are regular, one-on-one social visits from a support worker matched to a person’s interests and personality, aimed at reducing isolation rather than performing physical care tasks. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW 2025) identifies social isolation as a major risk factor for poor health outcomes in older Australians, which is why companionship is funded as a distinct support alongside personal care.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Companionship supports older Australians and NDIS participants at risk of loneliness, including people who have lost a partner, live alone, or have reduced mobility. Under the NDIS, it is funded through Core Supports as Assistance with Social and Community Participation (NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2025-26). Older Australians can access it through Support at Home social support services or, for lower-level needs, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (Department of Health and Aged Care 2025).
