If you or a family member are already receiving aged care support, are you confident your arrangements still suit your situation? 🏡
The Home Care Packages program is transitioning to the new Support at Home program, which changes how budgets are structured, how unspent funds are treated, and what services are available. For those in Residential Aged Care, means-tested fees are reassessed by Centrelink each year, typically in July, and the July indexation can shift fees slightly even when nothing in your circumstances has changed. And if the accommodation payment decision was made relatively recently, it may be worth revisiting whether the structure still suits your position.
The aged care system is sensitive to changes in your financial circumstances. Getting ahead of those changes tends to produce better outcomes than responding after the fact.
