FAQs

How do I qualify for a government-funded Home Care Package?
To qualify for a government-funded Home Care Package, you need to be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS). Contact My Aged Care to request an ACAS assessment.

With My Aged Care, Home Care Packages are in your reach. The assessment process is designed to understand your requirements and ensure that you receive the appropriate level of care and support tailored to your individual needs. The ACAS assessment considers factors such as your health, daily activities, and any specific challenges you might face.

What is the difference between the various levels of Home Care Packages?
Home Care Packages are categorised into four levels (1 to 4) based on your care needs. Higher-level Home Care Packages provide more funding and support for individuals with more complex care requirements.
What’s not included in a government-funded Home Care Package?
While government-funded Home Care Packages offer a range of services to support individuals in their homes, there are certain items and services that are typically not covered by these packages. Some examples of expenses that may not be included in a government-funded Home Care Package are:

  • rent or mortgage payments
  • utility bills
  • food and groceries
  • home modifications
  • personal items
  • medications and medical equipment
  • travel expenses.

What are the differences between government-funded and private care services?
Differences between government-funded and private Home Care Packages include:

  • Funding source: Government-funded services are funded by the government, while private care services are funded directly by the individual or their family.
  • Services offered: Government-funded services are designed to provide essential care and support to help seniors maintain their independence at home. Private care services, meanwhile, offer a wider range of options, including specialised care services.
  • Choice of provider: Recipients of government-funded care packages may be limited to selecting providers who are registered with the government program. With private care, individuals have greater freedom to find a Home Care Package provider, allowing them to select services that best match their needs and preferences.
  • Flexibility: Private care services are generally more flexible and can be tailored to the individual’s unique requirements.
  • Waiting times: Access to government-funded care services often involves waiting times, as the availability of Home Care Packages can vary based on demand and priority. Private care services, on the other hand, can usually be arranged more quickly since they are not subject to the same waiting lists as government-funded programs.

How long does it take to be approved for a government-funded Home Care Package?
The approval process for a government-funded Home Care Package can vary based on several factors, including your location, the demand for packages in your area, how long you take to find an HCP provider, and your specific care needs. Generally, the process can take several months from the initial assessment to receiving an approved Home Care Package.
