The Australian Government’s Home Care Packages Program helps you to live independently in your own home for as long as you can. The Program provides a subsidy towards a package of care, services and case management to meet your personal needs. There are four levels of home care packages. A professional assessor will work with you to find out if a home care package is the right service for you, which level of service you need and when you might need it.
The Home Care Package Level 1 is for individuals needing basic assistance with daily tasks.
The annual funding for this package is approximately $10,687.20
Home Care Package Level 2 is for individuals needing low-level assistance with daily tasks.
The annual funding for this package is approximately $18,794.10.
Home Care Package Level 3 is for individuals needing intermediate assistance with daily tasks.
The annual funding for this package is approximately $41,135.60.
Assistance with daily personal activities such as bathing, showering, toileting, dressing, mobility, and communication. Designed to make essential tasks easier and more manageable.
