The above figures are accurate as at 20 March 2019. No set up fee, no exit fee if you transfer to another Approved Provider for Community Care, no fees on unspent balances transferred to us because we know you have already paid top fees on that money, no review fees. No Home Care Package fees on voluntary top-up/privately paid care.
1These ‘estimated care hours per week’ are based on $59 per hour, which is our Monday to Friday rate, the Basic Daily Fee being paid by the Consumer and the Income Tested Care Fee being paid by the Self-funded Consumer. If you choose to have care at night or on weekends or have mileage then your ‘estimated care hours per week’ will be less.
