Budget Home Care Package: Maximising Your Support Home Services

Managing a Budget Home Care Package effectively is one of the most important steps to ensuring you receive the Support Home Services you truly need. At Supports At Home, we help clients across Australia get the most from every dollar of their funding.

What Is a Budget Home Care Package?

A Budget Home Care Package refers to the funded amount assigned to you through Australia's Home Care Packages Program. This budget is set by the government based on your assessed care level and can be used to purchase a range of Support Home Services.

Understanding your Budget Home Care Package means knowing:

●      How much is allocated per year at each care level

●      Which services you can and cannot fund

●      How provider fees are deducted from your budget

●      How to carry unused funds forward
