English term or phrase: Commonwealth Home Support Program
Hi fellow translators,

I'm translating a brochure of the Australian government.

In the list below, I translated 'National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program' as 'National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care-programma'. In my opinion it would look odd when all the words would be translated...

What should I do with Commonwealth Home Support Program?
- Commonwealth Home Support-programma
- Gemenebest Thuiszorgprogramma
- ... ?

You can raise concerns or provide feedback about aged care services you are receiving in an aged care home, or your home, including:
• Residential care or residential respite care
• Home Care Packages
• Commonwealth Home Support Program
• Flexible care, including Transition Care, and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program

Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
Vind het wel een mooie oplossing zo. In Engelstalige landen hebben ze over het algemeen hele bombastische benamingen voor dit soort dingen en ik laat het over het algemeen onvertaald, maar ik vind je oplossing in dezen wel mooi.
