Frequently Asked Questions
We are here to make Support at Home simple and stress-free, with the same care and expertise you trust.
We will soon arrange to meet with you to discuss the new Support at Home program and how we can help you get the most out of your package.
- There will be no changes to your package and funds. Any funds you haven’t used (unspent funds) from your Home Care Package by 1 November 2025 will move with you.
- Your aged care funding will be managed based on a quarterly budget.
- When you have used up any unspent funds, you will only be able to carry over up to $1,000 of the new funding into the next quarter.
- If you are currently paying any income-tested care fee, your contributions won’t change.
- Providers like ADEC will no longer charge separate package management or administration fees. Instead, these costs will be included in the rates providers charge for their services, so you can expect these to increase.
- Care management fees will be capped at 10% of your package funds.
- Equipment or home modifications are no longer funded out of your package. These will be provided under a different scheme. However, you must use any unspent funds first.
Selecting the right service provider is crucial. The government subsidises your chosen provider to organise a tailored package of care services to suit your individual needs. Given the diversity in care requirements, there are four Home Care Package levels, each with varying funding amounts addressing basic to high care needs.
Package Levels:
Level 1: Basic care needs
Level 2: Low care needs
Level 3: Intermediate care needs
Level 4: High care needs
Your assigned package level depends on your unique needs. Collaborate with your chosen provider to assess your care requirements and strategically allocate your package funding. Your service provider will efficiently coordinate and manage your services on your behalf. For more information, please visit https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/help-at-home/home-care-packages
