Home Assist Secure Program

The Queensland Government has a range of Assistance programs in place to help those over 60 to maintain or regain independence at home.

This service provides safety-related information, referrals, and subsidised assistance.

To be eligible for Home Assist Secure services, you must meet all these criteria:

• at least 60 years old or of any age with a disability

• a Pensioner Concession Card holder

• unable to complete the work yourself because it requires technical expertise or is a risk to your health and safety

• unable to have the works completed through alternative assistance, such as through: 

• the Commonwealth Home Support Program;

• the Department of Veterans’ Affairs;

• family or friends

Your local Home Assist Secure service can provide information about:

• home maintenance

• repairs

• minor modifications

• safety and security upgrades

• other assistance that the Queensland Government provides.

The Home Assist Secure service can also help you:

• employing tradespeople to do repairs or modifications

• plan future work.
