About support services in Australia

Support services are the practical help that keeps people living well at home: community transport, carer support and respite, home-delivered meals, volunteer programs, and financial advice. They often fill the gap between formal care and everyday independence.

Some support services are subsidised through aged care or NDIS programs, and others are run by community organisations and charities. Our Mate lists them together so the everyday help is easy to find alongside formal care.

Support service listings are drawn from official and public sources, including registers such as ASIC for financial advisers.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a support service?

Support services are the practical, everyday help that supports independent living, such as community transport, home-delivered meals, carer support and respite, volunteer assistance, and financial advice. They sit alongside formal aged care and NDIS supports rather than replacing them.

Are support services free or subsidised?

It depends on the service and a person's eligibility. Some are subsidised through aged care programs or an NDIS plan, some are run by charities and volunteers, and some are paid privately. Confirm costs and eligibility with each provider.

Who can use support services?

Support services help older people, people with disability, and the carers and families who support them. Eligibility for subsidised services depends on assessment, but many community-run services are open more broadly. Check each listing for its focus.
