The new Aged Care Act and the Support at Home program change how in-home services, including allied health, are classified and funded. Existing Home Care Package recipients transition with no reduction to their level of funding under the government's 'no worse off' commitment.
What to check
- Your classification level and quarterly budget.
- Whether allied health sits in your ongoing budget or a short-term restorative or assistive technology pathway.
- Any co-contribution that applies to your service category.
- That your provider's schedule of fees is written and given to you before services start.
We accept Home Care Package, CHSP and privately funded aged care referrals, and we will invoice your provider directly where they agree to it.
