Aged care pricing

The money side, plainly.

Three ways families pay for support, and our full Support at Home price schedule below — every service, every rate, nothing hidden.

Three pathways

How most families pay.

01

Government-funded

Support at Home · Home Care Package

If you're approved through My Aged Care, most of your support is paid through your assigned funding level. You'll typically contribute a small basic daily fee and — if applicable — an income-tested fee. We help you read your budget and spend it well.

02

Private arrangements

No waiting lists · Start quickly

If you'd rather not go through the government system (or you're waiting), you can engage us directly. Support starts within a week, invoiced fortnightly against an agreed schedule.

03

Blended

Topping up government funding

Many families combine a Home Care Package or Support at Home budget with private hours for the extras — longer outings, weekend support, respite stays. We help you map both side by side.

Support at Home

The full schedule, in full.

For families using Support at Home funding, our rates are set in line with the program's pricing arrangements. Rates are per hour unless otherwise noted. Final pricing is confirmed in your individual service agreement and never exceeds your applicable funding limits.
