Your Home Care Agreement will outline what happens if you need to suspend the care and services that you receive as part of your Home Care Package.
You (or your representative) should contact Baptcare to discuss any planned leave.
If you’re admitted to hospital, Baptcare should be notified as soon as possible so your Home Care Package can pause, and you avoid any charges for services that you do not receive.
You should also discuss what happens to your fees and government subsidy while you are on leave.
If you pay an income-tested fee, you still need to pay this, however it may be at a lower amount. You should discuss this in more detail with Baptcare.
