How much will a Home Care Package cost me?
Being eligible for an Australian government Subsidised Home Care Package (HCP) means that the government will subsidise the cost of your care. If you are on a full pension, you will not be asked to make any personal contribution for our home support services if you were assesed as eligible for a HCP prior to 12 September 2024. If you are assesed after this date you may be required to make a contribution to services other than clinical care
Clinical Governance and Package Management Fee:
These fees help cover nessesities including general management, ongoing assesment and care planning, compliance and quality assurance, management of incidents, scheduling of services, financial oversight and funding, sourcing and ordering equipment and products, additional visits and correspondence as required.
Basic Daily Fee: The basic daily fee is an amount that an organisation may choose to ask clients to pay. HomeMade does not charge a basic daily fee
Income Tested Fee (ITF): The income tested fee is a contribution that some people pay, as determined through an income assesment. This fee is based on individual income, including a part-pension. However, full pensioners and people with an income up to $33,027.80 do not pay an income tested fee.
Co-contributions for pensioners - From 1 November 2025 with the introduction of Support at Home, 5% of cost of independence services and 17.5% for domestic services and gardening.
