MSWA to cease home care services, leaving vulnerable clients in crisis

Marlene and Michael Robinson are concerned for her future after MSWA announced it would stop the Support at Home program. MSWA will stop providing a Commonwealth-funded Support at Home program, leaving clients with multiple sclerosis facing a shortfall in care for basic needs. The non-profit organisation said changes introduced by the federal government made it unsustainable to continue.

Marlene and Michael Robinson are deeply concerned about her future after MSWA announced it would cease its Support at Home program. The non-profit revealed that the federal government's changes to the aged care system made continuing the service unsustainable.

For Marlene, who has lived with multiple sclerosis for three decades, this means a significant shortfall in the care she desperately needs for daily tasks like showering and dressing. With the current provider unable to continue, the couple is struggling to find an alternative that can match MSWA's affordable rates, forcing them to consider the difficult decision of moving her into residential care.
