Meals under your CHSP entitlement

If your CHSP provider funds meal delivery, we supply the meals and invoice the provider directly — you handle only any small client contribution. No upfront card at checkout, no chasing receipts.

Halal, single-serve, ready in 4 minutes

Every meat dish is Halal-certified. Single-serve trays (~350–400g) are portion-right for older adults, easy to handle, and reheat in the microwave in 4 minutes — no thawing, no fuss.

Chilled, never frozen — 14–17 day fridge life

Slow-cooked, chilled to 0–4°C and shipped overnight in insulated cold-chain packaging. Lasts 14–17 days in the fridge, so a fortnight of meals fits one delivery.

Smooth transition to Support at Home

From 1 July 2027 most CHSP services move into the new Support at Home programme. We already invoice Support at Home providers — so when the funding changes, your meals don't have to.

Ordered by carers, family, case managers

Most CHSP meal orders are placed by an adult child, carer or case manager. Set up recurring weekly delivery, manage the schedule remotely, swap meals or skip a week — no lock-ins.

Halal & HACCP-audited Sydney kitchen

Halal-certified Australian meat, independently HACCP-audited kitchen, no pork or alcohol — culturally appropriate meals for Muslim CHSP clients and great food for everyone else.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?+

CHSP is the entry-level Australian Government program that helps older people stay independent at home through subsidised services — including meals, transport, domestic help and personal care. It's separate from Home Care Packages (HCP) and the new Support at Home programme, which fund higher-level care needs.

Are Sona's Kitchen meals available under CHSP?+

Yes. Where a CHSP provider funds meal delivery as part of an approved service, we can supply chef-made, Halal-certified chilled meals and invoice the provider directly. Speak to your CHSP provider about adding Sona's Kitchen to your approved meals supplier list.

Who is eligible for CHSP meals?+

Generally people aged 65+ (50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) who need a small amount of help to keep living independently. Eligibility and any client contribution are assessed by My Aged Care (1800 200 422) — we can help your provider invoice once you're approved.

How much do I pay for CHSP meals?+

CHSP clients usually make a small client contribution toward each meal, with the Government subsidy covering the rest. Exact contribution depends on your provider's fee policy and your income — your provider sets the co-payment, not us.

Is CHSP changing to Support at Home?+

From 1 July 2027 most CHSP services are scheduled to move into the new Support at Home programme. Existing CHSP clients continue to receive meals during transition, and we already invoice Support at Home providers — so your meals don't need to change when the funding does.

Are the meals Halal, chilled, and suitable for older adults?+

Yes. Every meat dish is Halal-certified, no pork or alcohol, single-serve and portion-controlled (~350–400g), chilled (never frozen), 14–17 day fridge life and ready in 4 minutes — designed for independence at home.

Can a family member or carer order on behalf of a CHSP client?+

Absolutely. Adult children, carers and case managers regularly set up recurring weekly delivery on behalf of a CHSP client. We can send invoices directly to the approved CHSP provider — no out-of-pocket payment at checkout.
