It’s inevitable in life that plans can change. If you need to cancel your service, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice, otherwise a cancellation charge may apply.
Travel costs
We do not charge the cost of travelling to or from your home for a service. If travel is part of your social support service a charge of $1/km applies.
Further financial support
If you receive a Home Care Package, you may be eligible for additional funding through a supplement. These supplements are available if you meet specific special care criteria (such as dementia and cognition support, medical oxygen requirements or people who require feeding through enteral valves) or a veterans’ supplement. Please ask your care coordinator about any supplements you may qualify for.
