Eligibility and Costs for a Level 3 Home Care Package

To access a Level 3 Home Care Package, eligibility is determined by an ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment. Applicants must typically be:

• Aged 65 or older (or 50+ for Indigenous Australians).
• Assessed as requiring intermediate care support.

The Australian Government provides funding of approximately $39,310.50 per year (as of 2024), making this a cost-effective solution by providing approximately 10-13 hours of support per week. However, income-tested fees may apply, and additional services may incur out-of-pocket costs.

Understanding the cost and funding structure is vital when planning for home care support. Speak to the team at AMCS to get a clear breakdown of potential expenses.
