Understanding fees and funding.
There are various fees associated with Home Care Packages and what you may need to pay can seem confusing. We are committed at Let’s Get Care to being transparent about what you might be eligible to pay and the cost that can be associated with a Home Care Package. Here are some of the common Home Care Packages terminology.
Provider fees.
There can be various fees Providers charge for managing your package. We charge transparent costs of care management fee and package management fee without any additional out of pocket costs like basic daily fee or an exit fee. This means you will have more fees available for services and any unspent funds will be stored for when you need additional support.
Income Tested Care Fee.
An Income Tested Fee is an extra contribution calculated based on your individual income, separate from the standard provider's charge for a Home Care Package. If you are eligible for this cost, you will need to pay it. No Provider can waive it. If you need to pay the Income Tested Fee, this and the government contribution will make up your total assessed package level of funding.
Your funding.
The Australian Government provides different types of financial support to make quality care more accessible for older Australians. These subsidies are designed to enable more people to live longer in their familiar surroundings. Your level of funding will be outlined in your monthly statement from your chosen Provider, as well as any additional cost that has come out of your package.

FAQs.
How do Home Care Package funds work?
Each month My Aged Care will send your chosen Approved Provider your monthly government subsidy. Your funding is not paid in a lump sum for the year, but instead as a monthly payment. If you receive a Home Care Package supplement, it will be paid to your Provider each month in addition to your basic subsidy.
How do I know if I will need to do an Income Assessment?
If you’re applying for a government-subsidised Home Care Package, an Income Assessment is generally required to determine if you need to pay an Income Tested Fee. The assessment is conducted by the Services Australia. If your income falls below a certain income threshold, you may not need to pay the Income Tested Fee. It’s essential to complete this assessment to ensure you’re paying the correct fees for your Home Care Package.
How do I work out the Home Care Package costs?
We charge a low flat fee that covers all the necessary costs and fees to manage your package. It also covers the package and care management fees of your Home Care Package.The care management Fee is a charge for the planning, coordination, and ongoing management of Home Care Packages by a Care Manager, ensuring your individual needs and preferences are met. Package management fee is administration costs for setting up your initial Care Plan, providing monthly statements, annual review and financial reconciliation of your home care budget. You’ll also have access to a Care Manager if you need any help at all, at any time.
What is the Basic Daily Fee?
This fee is also called a standard resident contribution in aged care legislation. The fee helps to cover the costs of daily living, like meals, cleaning, laundry, heating and cooling. Let’s Get Care doesn’t charge a Basic Daily Fee.
