More Details

Under the Home Care Packages Program, there are four levels of Home Care Packages
* Home Care Level 1 - to support people with basic care needs
* Home Care Level 2 - to support people with low level care needs
* Home Care Level 3 - to support people with intermediate care needs
* Home Care Level 4 - to support people with high care needs

During the assessment process each individual?s priority for care is also determined.

Individuals approved for a home care package are placed on a national queue until a package becomes available and is assigned to them.

When care commences all approved providers must deliver home care package services under a consumer directed care basis.

What services are provided under the Program?
* Home care package recipients are not limited to a basic list of services. Approved providers work with each of their clients to select services that best meet each individual?s care needs and goals.
* View information about package costs, restrictions and services on the My Aged Care website.
* View the full list of services provided in the User Rights Principles 2014 on the Federal Register of Legislation website.

Subsidy amounts and supplements
* The Home Care Packages Program provides a subsidy towards the total amount of funds available under a home care package. Each level of home care package provides a different subsidy amount.
* Supplements are also available to eligible approved providers of home care to meet individual needs.

Consumer Contributions
* If personal circumstances allow, consumers are expected to make a financial contribution towards the cost of their care. A home care fee estimator calculator is available on the My Aged Care website for people starting a home care package
