CHSP Home Repairs & Maintenance
As we get older, keeping up with home maintenance tasks can become more difficult. But that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your safety, comfort, or independence.
How LifeTec Can Help?
Through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), eligible older Australians can access government-subsidised home repairs and maintenance services that help create a safe and livable home environment.
At LifeTec, we make it easier for you to continue living confidently at home by taking care of the small but important repairs that can make a big difference.
Our trusted, fully licensed tradespeople can assist with a wide range of minor home maintenance tasks, including:
- Minor plumbing repairs, including tapware and toilets
- Minor electrical repairs
- Repairs to your locks, windows and doors
- Minor carpentry work, including upgrading locks and fixing doors and cupboards
- Re-meshing windows and door screens
- Installing perspex shields on screen doors
All repairs are completed by vetted and qualified professionals who prioritise your safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
Why Use CHSP for Home Maintenance?

- Prevent accidents such as slips, trips, or electrical hazards
- Keep your home secure and functional
- Avoid costly repairs in the future
- Support your independence for longer
By taking care of the little things, we help you focus on what matters - living well at home.
