What will Mum’s care actually cost each week?

Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages in November 2025 — and the fees changed again this July, with more changes coming in October. HomeCareCompass turns the official government schedules into one clear answer: what you pay, what the government pays, service by service.

Grounded in the official schedules

Every rate comes from the July 2026 government fee schedules and the Support at Home program manual — nothing invented, everything dated.

Knows the October change

From 1 October 2026, personal care becomes fully government funded. Your estimate shows costs before and after, automatically.

Checks the paperwork too

Getting statements that don’t add up? The free checker tests them against the Manual’s own rules — deadline, rates, the 10% cap — and drafts the written request for you. Check a statement →
