From July 2019 Home Care Package providers will be expected to comply with new regulations regarding transparency with their pricing. It is expected by Government that charges for Package Management and Care Management are kept to a ‘minimum’ so that consumers have greater access to their funding. Coupled with this is the increasing level of unspent funds resulting in viability issues for some of the sector.
This contemporary seminar is designed to ensure you have the most recent information in order to prepare for the future changes and reforms in Home Care.

I hope at this seminar they will not only check on unspent funds but also discuss the fact that Providers statements are often erroneous. I need to check my statements each month as there are mistakes in net balance carried forward etc. Changes to fees are made with no notification to Client. We need transparency with regard to what the Providers do with Govt. funding too.
what do we do about providers milking packages. please do accreditation on shoddy home care operators . big money and CHARITIES!!!!
australia providing domestic servants to family not necessarily to the client. i’d like a free housekeeper.
Why do unspent funds create a “viability problem”. Is this a snow job to justify imposing arbitrary restrictions on consumer choice? Can someone explain from an accounting viewpoint how a business would become non viable because they hold monies in trust (and continue to charge an ongoing administration fee). Sounds like it should be improving viability to me. Just asking…
