Can I receive Home and Garden maintenance from the Commonwealth Home Support Program and private services at the same time?

Yes you may receive home and garden maintenance under CHSP and private services to help maintain your house and garden. The CHSP support is to ensure your garden is safe and accessible whilst the private services are for beautification.

What are the house maintenance tasks that can be requested?

People Who Care have a maintenance team with general skills across repairs and installations. They cannot perform any tasks which require a specialist trade such as plumbing or electrical or tasks out of scope activities. The program does not provide services that are the responsibility of other parties e.g. private rental landlords, government housing or Local Government Authorities.

What are the rules around how much CHSP gardening assistance I can receive?

The CHSP program is designed to offer entry level home support of up to no more than 2 hours a week on average for all service types such as Domestic Assistance, Gardening, Transport etc. This means that if you require Home and Garden support that on average you will be limited to a monthly service of no more than two hours per occasion. Private services may be used to provide additional home or garden services you receive.
