Home Care Package Levels: Which Level is Right for You?
A direct comparison of Home Care Package (HCP) levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Australia.
Understanding HCP Levels
In Australia, Home Care Packages are divided into four levels, each providing a different amount of funding to help you stay in your own home as you age.
| Level | Support Needs | Approx. Annual Subsidy |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Basic care needs | $10,200 |
| Level 2 | Low-level care needs | $18,000 |
| Level 3 | Intermediate care needs | $39,000 |
| Level 4 | High-level care needs | $59,000 |
Wait times for packages vary by level and location. It's essential to apply through My Aged Care as soon as you notice changes in your ability to manage at home.
