The Department of Health and Aged Care has engaged IHACPA - The Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority, to come up with the service list prices for Support at Home. IHACPA is currently consulting - Consultation Paper on the Pricing Approach for the Support at Home service list 2025-26. They invite you to have your say.
IHACPA invites you to have your say on the pricing approach for the Support at Home service list 2025–26 consultation paper. The Australian Government’s Support at Home program will combine existing in-home aged care services into a single, simplified program designed to assist older people to live independently at home for longer. The program will replace the Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme from 1 July 2025.
To support the development of the pricing advice to government, IHACPA are seeking feedback on the proposed approach, methodology and principles in their consultation paper.
IHACPA encourages you to share your experience and advice on aged care pricing. Your input will help IHACPA provide pricing advice that meets the needs of the aged care sector and accurately reflects the cost of delivering safe and high-quality services.
Our consultation covers several key areas, including:
IHACPA want to hear from a range of voices from across the aged care sector. Aged care providers, representative organisations and experts, government, peak bodies, older people, families, carers, and the general public are all encouraged to take part.
Submit your feedback in a way that works for you.
You don’t need to respond to all the questions listed in the consultation paper. Even if you only want to respond to just one or two questions, IHACPA still want to hear from you.
Submissions are open until 5pm AEDT Friday 25 October 2024.
