How are Home Care Packages funded?

Home Care Packages are Federally funded, primarily funded through taxpayers’ contributions, and are managed by Services Australia.

The funding levels for Home Care Packages are determined based on an assessment of need by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). There are four levels of funding available, ranging from around $9,000 to over $53,000 per year. The funding levels are designed to provide appropriate support for individuals with varying levels of care needs.
