Is the Integrated Assessment Tool creating a funding bottleneck for your care management team?

As the Support at Home rollout continues, algorithm-driven funding decisions have become a major challenge across the aged care sector.

Here’s what providers are facing:
- Algorithm limits under-representing complex cognitive and frailty needs
- Reduced assessor discretion driving higher review requests
- Reassessment lags stretching up to 90 days

Maintaining detailed clinical notes, managing interim budgets with precision, and factoring assessment timelines into rostering can help protect your workflow and maintain client trust.

The future of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme is becoming one of the biggest conversations in aged care reform.

A coalition of over 40 aged care stakeholders has formed the CHSP Alliance, advocating to keep the program separate from the upcoming Support at Home model. From protecting vital community infrastructure like Meals on Wheels to preventing financial inefficiencies, the alliance outlines 15 critical reasons why CHSP must be preserved.

Head to our website to explore what these proposed changes mean for providers and the future of the sector.

Accountability doesn’t disappear when home care services are outsourced.

Under the Support at Home framework, relying on subcontractors, allied health partners, and maintenance vendors no longer means "out of sight, out of mind." Even when delivery is external, the primary provider retains full responsibility for compliance, governance, and participant safety.

Managing this complex network through a fragmented mix of spreadsheets, manual emails, and phone calls is becoming impossible to sustain under the strengthened Quality Standards.

To maintain compliance without burying teams in paperwork, providers need real-time operational visibility over supplier compliance, attendance confirmation, and streamlined invoice validation.

Managing a growing third-party network shouldn't mean exponentially increasing your administrative burden.

Head to the link in our bio to read the full breakdown on how to bridge the gap between compliance and everyday workflows.

We are on the ground in Brisbane, setting up for ITAC 2026. The calm before the storm, but we are ready for two big days discussing the future of aged care and home care technology.

If you're in Brisbane for the conference, come find us at booth 46 on Wednesday and Thursday.

We're looking forward to connecting!

The INVOX National Support at Home Conference has come to a close today. It was wonderful to meet so many of you at our booth to discuss the evolving landscape of home care.

A major highlight of the week was the news that the government will now fund essential personal care services at home, such as showering and incontinence care. This is a significant step in the right direction. It helps to remove the financial strain of fundamental daily requirements that should be accessible to all older Australians. By addressing these costs, the government is making it easier for people to receive the support they need to stay in their own homes comfortably.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share their thoughts and insights with us!

It’s been a massive six months for the home care sector as we all navigate the new changes.

We’re heading down to Melbourne next week for the INVOX Support at Home National Conference at Marvel Stadium. It’s a great chance to step back from the day-to-day and take stock of the rollout so far.

We're looking forward to catching up with other providers and exhibitors to swap notes on the practical side of the new system: discussing what’s actually working on the ground and how we’re keeping quality care at the centre of it all.
