Maroochy Home Maintenance and Care Association Inc
The Maroochy Home Maintenance and Care Association Inc (operating as Maroochy Home Assist) is a not-for-profit organisation based on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Established over 20 years ago, it provides subsidised home maintenance and modification services to elderly, frail, and disabled individuals to support independent living[1][2][3].

Services
The organisation offers minor home maintenance (e.g., gutter cleaning, safety repairs) and major home modifications, including level-access bathrooms, ramps, and grab rails. Services are delivered through government-funded programs such as:

• Home Assist Secure (HAS): For Queenslanders aged 60+ or those with disabilities, covering minor maintenance and safety modifications[1][4].
• Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP): For individuals aged 65+ (50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples), including both minor and major modifications[1][5].
• NDIS and Home Care Packages: Tailored assistance for National Disability Insurance Scheme participants and Home Care Package recipients[1][3].

Eligibility and Funding
Services are subsidised for eligible clients, typically requiring registration with My Aged Care or proof of aged/disability pension[4][5]. Government funding supports labor costs, while clients may contribute to materials[4]. The organisation operates across the Sunshine Coast, with major modifications extending to Gympie and Noosa regions[5].

Governance
As a registered charity, Maroochy Home Assist adheres to privacy regulations, collecting personal information solely for service provision and legal compliance[2]. It collaborates with federal and state agencies, prioritising accessibility and affordability for vulnerable populations[1][3].
