As you age, there are things you just can’t do like you used to… carrying heavy laundry, driving, cleaning the gutters, and caring for the garden. Even though you’re happy at home, you can’t do all the tasks that were once easy.

The cost of home care


The Australian Government covers most of the cost, but as with all aged care services, families may be required to contribute to the support services. If you're on the basic rate of pension, your maximum out of pocket cost is 17.5%. An ‘income-tested care fee’ will determine the contribution an individual makes and varies based on financial and personal circumstances.

The Department of Human Services calculates the cost, with the income assessment form. All income tested fees have annual and lifetime caps.
