Statement checker

Five checks against the Program Manual’s own rules — the legal deadline, the $0 clinical rule, your maximum contribution rate, the 10% care management cap and the mandatory contents list. Enter a few figures straight off the statement; if anything fails, the written request is drafted for you, citations included. Free, nothing stored.

If the reply doesn’t hold up — or doesn’t come — the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (1800 951 822) takes statement and pricing complaints, and since May 2026 can order refunds where overcharging is found. OPAN’s free advocates (1800 700 600) can carry it with you. The statements guide and billing-errors guide map the full route.

  • Estimates and checks are general information only; Services Australia determines actual contribution rates.
  • Nothing you enter here is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere — the checks run entirely on your device.
