Management Fees
Care Management Fee (HCP & Private Funding)
Approximately 20% – Covers the coordination and oversight of your care services, ensuring they are tailored to meet your individual needs.
Means Testing
If you are not a full Pensioner, you may be required to pay an Income Tested Care Fee (ITCF). This is determined by the Department of Human Services (Centrelink) through an income assessment, which is reviewed every three months. Service providers are unable to waive or reduce this fee.
If you haven’t yet completed a means test, Best of Home Care can assist you in navigating the process.
