Sector Support and Development (SSD) assists Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) providers in enhancing service quality and increasing capacity, particularly amidst ongoing Aged Care reforms. CHSP organisations offer entry-level support to seniors to help them maintain independence at home and optimise their well-being.

MDS SSD, alongside regional and national SSDs, offers CHSP staff and volunteers opportunities for professional development through training workshops, conferences, ageing forums, and regular e-news updates.

Furthermore, MDS SSD hosts occasional information sessions to aid community members in navigating the aged care system.
