About us
The Southern Services Reform Group (SSRG) is a Collaborative Project supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).
SSRG supports CHSP providers through sector capacity building, collaboration, knowledge sharing, and practical support to assist providers to respond to aged care reforms and deliver high quality, contemporary services for older Australians.
Our work focuses on strengthening the capability, sustainability and connectedness of the CHSP sector through training, resources, networking opportunities, collaborative projects, and the translation of policy and evidence into practice.
Think Global - Act Local: SSRG contributes to both local and national sector development activities and works collaboratively with other SSD providers across Australia to reduce duplication, promote consistency, and improve access to support for CHSP providers nationwide.

• Supporting providers to transition to and implement aged care reforms and the new Aged Care Act
