Confused about what you'll pay for aged care at home? You're not alone. 🧾
It's one of the most common questions we get, so here's the simple version.
Under the Support at Home program, what you pay depends on the type of support you get and your financial situation.
✅ Nursing and other clinical care is fully covered by the government.
✅ From 1 October 2026, personal care like help with showering and dressing is fully covered too.
💲 For everyday help like cleaning and gardening, you pay part of the cost based on your income and assets.
There's also a lifetime cap on how much you'll ever need to pay.
It can still feel like a lot to take in. Our friendly office team is happy to talk you through it and answer your questions.
