Under the Australian Government's Support at Home program, funding is delivered as a quarterly budget and once you understand how it works, it is actually quite simple! It arrives in four equal payments across the year, one for each quarter, so you always know what is coming.
Before you spend it, up to 10% is set aside for your Care Management, covering all the planning and support happening behind the scenes for you.
The rest? That is yours to enjoy on the care and services that matter most to you.
And here is the best part: if you do not use it all, you are not penalised. Your unspent funds simply roll over to the next quarter. There is just one cap to keep in mind, you can carry forward up to $1,000 or 10% of your quarterly budget, whichever is greater.
With PlanCare, you are always on track. To help you keep an eye on your budget, we send automated email notifications as your quarterly funds are used, so you will hear from us each time you reach a milestone within the quarter. No surprises, just clarity. 🩵
