Home Care Package 11.9% Subsidy Increase

All recipients of a Home Care Package received a historic 11.9% subsidy increase on the 1st of July. This increase is designed to cover the cost of the wage rise for aged care workers and other price increases. 

It is hoped that the wage increase will attract thousands more staff into the sector, address workforce shortages, help improve the quality of care for older Australians, and recognise the value and importance of the work performed by these caregivers.

A Home Care Package from the Australian Government can help you live at home for longer. Perhaps you're struggling to keep the garden from going wild, or you're having trouble getting down to the shops. Maybe you could use a hand getting ready each day.
