Plan early for 'Support at Home Program'
Navigate home care challenges successfully and aim to be best in class, with support from industry software leaders with experience and cyber-secure home care software solutions.
The Support at Home Program (SHP) is a significant change to the current home support and home care structure. To further add to the complexity, the Government is proposing the changeover to occur from 1 July 2025, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no planned transition timetable.
e-Tools knows the importance of early preparation through experience. Plans are in progress for our new SHP software application, to enable clients and industry operators to transition ahead of the due date. This will allow plenty of time to be familiar and operational with the new software before the Department’s implementation date.

Transition smoothly to SHP with our help
Our new SHP software will allow home care and home support clients to continue operating and reporting under the existing programme requirements (HCP & CHSP).
From the Department’s changeover date, the software will display the data in a new format that reflects the merge and captures the new SHP requirements.
The advantages of this approach are:
- Allows for longer familiarisation & training.
- Retain historical records to access in the future.
- No last-minute issues trying to transition in one day.
- If the implementation date is altered again, it will not impact adversely on e-Tools clients, as the software will allow for continual reporting of home care & home support under the current programme requirements.
e-Tools believes that, as an industry, we need to be more prepared for changes of this magnitude. We will do our utmost to ensure our clients are well positioned to maximise outcomes and continue delivering quality services when the change occurs.
