A Home Care Package is a subsidised program funded by the Australian Government to help meet your needs to remain in your own home. The Government pays a subsidy amount to an Aged Care Provider depending on the level of Home Care Package that you have been granted.
As a Provider, CiMaS will give you a budget that informs you of the amount of subsidy you have been allocated and how that subsidy will be spent. Below is a list of fees and charges that can be deducted from your subsidy.
If you are not eligible for the subsidy, you will be required to pay for Home Care Package services out of pocket. CiMaS offers very reasonable pricing for those who wish to pay for a package independently. You can view our indpendant home care package fees here.
Basic Daily Fee
Our basic operational fee equates to 17.5% of the Aged Pension. Centrelink with mail both you and the provider a letter stating the assessed basic daily fee amount. CiMaS can reduce or waive this fee in some circumstances.
Package Management Fees
All Home Care Package clients are subject to the Package Management Fees. This includes administration of your
financial records such as processing of invoices, monthly statements, and client budgets.
Package management includes:
-
- Organizational costs – Administration Managing safety and quality as required by law
- Financial management – with monthly statements
Care Management Fees
Our care coordination services are our way of providing personalised care for you that considers your social, physical, and
health related needs organised by our Service Navigator.
Care management includes:
-
- Health assessment

Alternatively, you may decide to manage your package yourself, in which case a reduced fee is available.
Income Tested Fee
This is a contribution that you pay for services you receive that is based on what you earn and is determined by the Government. If you are not in receipt of a full Aged Care or Defence Services pension you will need to submit an income test form to Centrelink. The Government will determine how much they will pay of the Home Care Package and how much you will be asked to pay.
Exit Fee
CiMaS charges a $200 exit fee for leaving our service to cover administration and the hand over process to another provider.
