Stay Independent, Stay Active, Stay at Home
The Support at Home Program gives older Australians government funded access to Exercise Physiology and Remedial Massage, delivered at your front door in Belconnen and across Canberra. No clinic visits, no stress, just expert care where you already are.
Getting Started Is Simpler Than It Looks
This is the part that trips people up, so here is exactly how it works.
Check What You Have
If you already have a Home Care Package or a Support at Home budget with a provider like Mercy Health, Trilogy Care, Northside Community Service, Life Without Barriers, integratedliving Australia and others, you are already set up to use us.
Ask Your Provider to Direct Us
Call your existing provider and instruct them that Accelr8 Rehab can provide both Exercise Physiology and Remedial Massage under any budget. No new assessment needed, and no waiting.
We Book You In
Once your provider confirms, we organise a time and come to you. Simple as that.
One thing to check first: if all you have is the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), the older, entry level program, we are not able to provide funded home visits under that alone. You would need to be assessed for Support at Home first. Not sure what you have? Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422, or give us a call and we will help you work it out.

Imagine This
"I was starting to worry about losing my independence, but the team from Accelr8 Rehab changed everything. They come to my house each week for gentle exercises and massage, and I have noticed a huge difference in my balance and strength."

"Getting out to appointments was getting harder, but now Dan and his team visit me at home. The massage has helped ease my back pain, and the exercises are tailored perfectly to what I can manage."
