Receiving Funding For Home Care Services

The following information has been taken directly from the My Aged Care website and is the best source of truth to understanding funding for your Aged Care needs and services.

“The Australian Government subsidises the cost of home support services that you can receive in the comfort of your own home. What you need to pay depends on your services and in some cases, your financial situation.An assessment process determines what program is more suitable for you. ”- My Aged Care website: https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/help-at-home

Choose a Service Provider

You should also consider: location, services offered, and availability when you are looking for a provider. Look for providers who fit your needs, such as your culture, background, faith, or health requirements.

When choosing a Service Provider, it is important to consider the following

Service: what services does the Service Provider offer and do they meet my needs?

Quality: does their standard of care meet my own quality standards?

Costs: what are the costs involved and do these fit in with my Home Care Package funding and personal financial situation?
