How will care management change in Australian home support services?
From 2025, registered providers must deliver home support care management at least once per month to individuals receiving ongoing or short-term funded aged care services. This ensures more consistent monitoring and support for care recipients.
What changes are coming to funding for in-home aged care?
The funding system will become more flexible with person-centered subsidies and supplements. Providers will receive credits based on individual care needs, with adjustments possible when full care places come into effect or when primary person-centered supplements apply.
How will the new subsidy system work for home support services?
The system will operate through an account-based approach where credits are allocated based on individual circumstances and needs. The System Governor can determine credit amounts, and accounts will be debited when claims for person-centered subsidies are approved.
