What are Home Care Packages (HCP)?
Each HCP is funded by the Federal Government under the My Aged Care program, to find out more, click here. The government pays ACCA a subsidy to arrange your personalised plan and we consistently meet a strict set of rules and quality standards as regulated by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.
Each HCP fee structure includes the subsidy provided by the Australian Government and the contributions you may be asked to pay, being:
- A basic daily fee, and/or,
- An assessed amount based on your ability to contribute called the income tested care fee (ITCF) and/or;
- Any fees you agree to or can afford to pay.
HCPs can provide four different levels of care and support.
Each level receives a varying amount of government funding. The higher the level, the greater the funding provided by the government on your behalf, enabling you to purchase more services. A level 4 package offers the opportunity to purchase the most services.
The government contribution changes on 1 July every year; these figures listed below are up to date as at 1 July 2024. If you are eligible to pay an income tested care fee, the government subsidy is reduced by this amount.
ACCA will review your HCP and if your needs change, we will further tailor your plan and this can mean an increase in the level of support required.
Building a Caring Community
As a community-based organisation, we place a strong emphasis on social engagement. We encourage you and your loved ones to participate in our support groups and outings, which are integral to maintaining a sense of connection and well-being. By creating an environment of mutual support and companionship, we aim to enrich the lives of those we care for.
