Sensible Care provides you value for money
From 1 January 2023, Department of Health and Aged Care introduced caps on package and care management fees that Home Care Package providers can charge. Care management fees are capped at %20 whereas the package management fees are capped at 15%. Most of the providers opt to charge management fees either at the capped limits or just under. That means, in most cases, providers charge from 32% to 35% of total package value as management fees. In comparison to that, Sensible Care’s total management fee is only 15% for the self management option and just 28% for the full care managed option.
Therefore, by choosing Sensible Care's self-managed service, Home Care Package recipient can save 20% of the package value which can be used for obtaining additional services.
For a Level 4 package valued at $61,440.45 per year, that corresponds to $12,288.09 in savings.
To put this in perspective, the savings can be used to get around 200 to 250 hours of more care per year for a self managing Level 4 Home Care Package recipient.
