🌟 Support at Home & Funding Periods: What’s Changed for Home-Support Providers 🌟
The introduction of the new Support at Home rules — alongside funding-period-style instalments — has reshaped how home-based support providers operate.
Instead of assuming full budgets upfront, many providers now work within monthly or quarterly funding periods, with strict rollover limits.
WHAT CHANGED
• Funding released in instalments
• Only up to 10% OR $1,000 (whichever is lower) can roll over into the next period
• Any remaining unspent funds expire
• Claims must match the active funding period
• Some supports remain lump-sum
WHY THIS MATTERS
These changes affect cashflow, scheduling, contracts and compliance. Providers must closely track period budgets and rollover limits to avoid declined claims or revenue loss.
