Government funding by package level

The total cost of a home care package is made up of:

  • what you need to pay (your contribution)
  • what the Australian Government pays (the subsidy).

The Australian Government pays a different subsidy amount for each level of home care package. This amount is paid to the home care provider you choose.

The government subsidy for each package is as follows:

Package
level
Aged care services for
people with:
Yearly amount paid by the
Australian Government up to
approximate* value of
1 Basic care needs $8,250
2 Low-level care needs $15,000
3 Intermediate care needs $33,000
4 High-level care needs $50,250

* The maximum government contribution increases each year. The individual amount that will be paid will depend on whether you are asked to pay an income-tested care fee.
