Level 1 | Basic care needs | Once or twice a week | $10,271.10 |
Level 2 | Low care needs | Three or four times a week | $18,063.85 |
Level 3 | Intermediate care needs | Most days of the week | $39,310.50 |
Level 4 | High care needs | Daily | $59,593.55 |
This subsidy is the same level for all providers – see Home Care Package Levels Explained for more information on the services you can receive at each level.
