Key things to know about home care changes
Big changes are coming to Home Care
The Home Care Package system is being replaced by Support at Home – a new way to deliver aged care services in your own home.
What’s changing?
✔️ New fee structure based on your finances
✔️ 8 levels of care instead of 4
✔️ Quarterly “use it or lose it” budgets
✔️ More packages to reduce wait times.
Importantly, fees for some services may increase – so be informed and plan ahead.
What you should do now:
✅ Review your care needs
✅ Talk to your current provider, if currently receiving services
✅ Book an aged care assessment if you need care and don’t already have one
