From the Increasing Choice webinar on Approved Provider Requirements and

Quality Provisions the most common questions from CHSP providers were about

becoming an approver provider You do not need to become an approved provider

if you are only delivering CHSP services You will need to become an approved

provider if you want to expand your business to provide home care package

programmes under the Aged Care Act 1997

What you need to know if you want to expand your business

Changes are being made to the application process to become an approved

provider If you are looking to expand the services you offer to provide
