Name the exact service
CHSP support is service-specific, so identify the approved service you are trying to arrange.
CHSP service match
I have CHSP approval but cannot find a provider
When you already have an approved CHSP service, the useful question is practical: who can deliver that particular service, in your locality, at a time that works?
Give the locality
Suburb or postcode is essential for checking whether the provider actually services your area.
Add the timing
Preferred days, urgency and how soon you need the service help distinguish a real match from a vague maybe.
01
Have the approved service information nearby if you can.
My Aged Care advises people who are approved for CHSP to check their Notice of Decision and support plan when connecting with providers. This helps make sure the provider offers the service that has actually been approved.
- The exact CHSP service you are looking for.
- Your suburb or postcode.
- Preferred days or times.
- How soon you need the service to start.
- Any referral or assessment information you have available.
02
A clear “not available” is more useful than an uncertain promise.
Acclyptic checks the service, locality and timing together. If we can deliver it, we can talk through the next practical step. If we cannot currently deliver it, we would rather tell you clearly than leave you waiting on a promise that may not turn into a service.
If your CHSP needs involve more than one service, each service can be considered separately rather than assuming one provider must solve everything.
03
You can also use My Aged Care to help find a provider.
My Aged Care explains that people approved for CHSP can ask their assessor to refer them to a local provider or use My Aged Care provider-search options. If one provider cannot deliver the service, keep the search focused on the specific approved service and your locality.

Common questions
A couple of things people often ask.
What information helps when I am trying to find a CHSP provider?
The approved service, your suburb or postcode, preferred days or times, how soon you need it and any referral information you have are the most useful starting points.
What if Acclyptic cannot currently deliver the service?
We will be clear about current availability rather than promising a start we cannot support. You can continue using My Aged Care provider-search and referral options for the approved service.
