In Central Queensland the program is delivered by Rockhampton Regional Council into the local government areas of Central Queensland including: Rockhampton, Gladstone, Central Highlands, Livingstone and Banana Shires. A central office is located in Rockhampton.

Services offered include:

• free information and referrals
• subsidised assistance to eligible clients

Home Assist Secure services are available for residents aged 60 years and over, people of any age with a disability, or indigenous people over 50 years of age.

To receive subsidised assistance for work in your home you must:
