Once the DHHS determine your maximum income-tested fee, you’ll receive a letter outlining the basic daily fee you may need to pay your Home Care service provider. Note, while some Home Care providers will charge you a basic daily fee, Baptcare does not.
If you have opted to seek an income assessment before commencing a Home Care Package, only you will receive a letter explaining the maximum fees that you may be asked to pay.
This advice is valid for 120 days – unless your circumstances change.
If your circumstances do change, you must let DHHS know. They’ll then reissue your fee advice letter with updated details.
