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. 🩵

By self-managing your Support at Home funding with PlanCare, you save up to $20,087.60 each year.Here is the comparison:...

By self-managing your Support at Home funding with PlanCare, you save up to $20,087.60 each year.

Here is the comparison: traditional domestic support costs around $120/hr. With self-management through PlanCare, it is closer to $71/hr, including our 9.8% Platform Management Fee.

That is around 40% cheaper than an average traditional provider, and it is money you can put towards more hours of care or the things that matter most to you🩵

You choose your own workers while PlanCare handles provider verification, payments, and budget visibility, with support from your dedicated Co-Care Partner🙋🏻‍♀️

Book a free PlanCare Explainer Session or call us on 1800 024 000 and see how much further your funding can go!

*Important Note: Savings and hourly rates are estimates only and will vary depending on your provider, location, and care needs.

There is a lot to gain from self-managing your Support at Home funding, and we would love to show you how! 🩵

Come and find us at Booth 158 at the Ageing Well Expo Perth 2026! Drop by for a chat with our team about self-managing your funding and what it could mean for you.

Here is what you can expect:

👋🏼 Meet the team
Say hello and learn how self-managing gives you more choice in who supports you, more transparency over where your funding goes, and more of your money spent on actual care, not administration.

🗣️ Ask your Support at Home questions
How it works, what you can get out of it, or if you have your own package already- whether or not you are getting the most out of it. This is your chance to ask those questions face to face.

🎁 Enter our giveaway!
Pop by the booth to go into the draw to win a digital photo frame, plus a few other goodies.

📅 Friday 31 July & Saturday 1 August 2026
9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

CAPS stands for the Continence Aids Payment Scheme and it is a separate annual government payment (not part of your Support at Home budget) that helps older Australians cover the cost of continence products like pads and other aids.

CAPS was removed for Support at Home and CHSP clients when the new Aged Care Act began in November 2025. But after strong feedback from clients, carers and health professionals, the Government has reversed that decision.

From 1 July 2026, CAPS has been restored. The current payment rate is $739.40 per year and it does not come out of your regular Support at Home funding.

If you previously had access to CAPS and lost it, you will need to reapply. But don't worry, your Co-Care Partner can help you work out what to do next 🙋🏻‍♀️🩵

From 1 July 2026, Support at Home funding amounts have been updated through annual government indexation. For many clients, that means more support available each quarter🩵

Funding now ranges from $11,000 up to $80,000 per year, depending on your classification.

Budgets are released quarterly, and clinical care services such as nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy remain fully government-funded on top of your regular budget✅

If you are thinking of getting some extra support with your newly updated funding, now is a great time to check in with your co-care partner to update your care plan.

For the official breakdown of all eight classifications, click here: https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/support-at-home/funding-for-support-at-home/funding-classifications-for-support-at-home?language=en

Give our team a call on 1800 024 000 if you have any questions and we will help you every step of the way!

Today at the Ageing Well Expo Sydney our team got the loveliest surprise. Peter, one of our self-managed Support at Home clients, spotted us at Booth P610 and stopped to say hello.

Supporting our clients is so much more than funding and paperwork. We work behind the scenes every day to make sure their care is in good hands and their independence is front and centre. But when a client walks up with a big smile and says g'day in person? That is what it is really all about and it absolutely made our day. 💛

We are back at Booth P610 tomorrow! If you are heading to the Ageing Well Expo in Sydney, come and say hello to our team. Whether you want to talk about self-managing your Support at Home funding or just want to meet us in person — we cannot wait to see you.
