What is the difference between NDIS and aged care home support?
The NDIS funds home support for people whose permanent disability began before age 65. Aged care home support, delivered through Support at Home since it replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November 2025 (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025), funds help for older people whose needs come with ageing. Both pay for personal care, household help and community access; which applies depends mainly on your age when you first apply.
How many people rely on home support in Australia?
The NDIS supports more than 700,000 participants nationally (NDIA quarterly data, 2025), while Support at Home carries eight funding classifications with annual budgets up to $78,106 (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Carevo lists 28,004 NDIS providers and 2,619 aged care providers, with records updated 2026-06-27. Both streams fund the same kinds of in-home help, so provider pools overlap.
What changes when a provider works across both systems?
The list at the top of this page is ranked using the criteria explained above it. When you compare a shortlist yourself, two checks are specific to providers working across both the NDIS and aged care, and two apply everywhere.
Registration category. Check the provider on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission register and confirm it holds the registration group for daily personal activities. For aged care work, confirm registration under the Aged Care Act 2024 in the My Aged Care Find a Provider tool.
Pricing transparency. Ask for a written price list and compare it against the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27 caps; these are ceilings, and charging below them stretches your plan further. For Support at Home, ask how service-based contributions are calculated up front.
Response time. Slow replies at enquiry stage usually mean slow rostering later. Benchmark any provider against the response times by state table further down this page before you commit.
Coverage. A provider registered nationally may still have no workers near you. Ask which suburbs its current staff actually service.
Can you get NDIS and aged care funding at the same time?
No, not for home support. You cannot hold an NDIS plan and a Support at Home budget at the same time; one system funds you, not both (My Aged Care, 2025). People close to 65 who are already NDIS participants face a choice rather than a combination: stay with the NDIS or move to aged care.
Can I stay on the NDIS after I turn 65?
Yes. Existing participants can stay on the NDIS past 65 and keep their plan and providers (NDIS, 2025). You cannot apply once you are 65 or older, and if you leave for aged care you cannot later return. Participants who move into permanent residential aged care after turning 65 exit the scheme, so talk it through with a planner before your birthday.
Who is eligible for the NDIS versus Support at Home?
NDIS eligibility requires you to be under 65 when you apply, an Australian citizen, permanent resident or protected SCV holder, and living with a permanent and significant disability that affects daily life (NDIS, 2025). Support at Home is for people 65 and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, assessed through the Single Assessment System that replaced ACAT and RAS assessments from December 2024 (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2024).
What home support services can NDIS and aged care providers deliver?
The day-to-day services are largely the same in both streams: personal care such as showering, dressing and toileting, meal preparation, medication prompts, light housework, overnight support, transport and community access. Under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27, standard weekday Assistance with Self-Care is capped at $70.23 per hour, or $75.98 for high-intensity supports such as PEG feeding or complex bowel care. Support at Home adds clinical services such as nursing with no participant contribution (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
How do I apply for the NDIS or access aged care home support?
For the NDIS, submit an access request to the NDIA with evidence from your treating professionals (NDIS, 2025). For aged care, register with My Aged Care for an assessment under the Single Assessment System, which assigns one of the eight Support at Home classifications; places are allocated through a national priority system (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). Veterans may instead have similar in-home support funded through DVA.
Questions to ask a provider before signing a service agreement
- Which NDIS registration groups do you hold? A good answer includes a registration number you can check on the NDIS Commission provider register.
- Are you registered under the Aged Care Act 2024? The provider should appear in My Aged Care’s Find a Provider tool, not just claim it.
- What are your hourly rates against the 2026-27 NDIS price caps? Expect a written price list, not “we charge the cap”.
- What do you charge for short-notice cancellations and worker travel? A good answer quotes the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27 rules.
- Does every worker who enters my home hold a current NDIS Worker Screening Check? The provider should verify clearances in the national worker screening database.
- Which commission handles complaints about you? A registered provider names the NDIS Commission or the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission without hesitation.
