What will your Support at Home budget actually cover?

If you already know your classification and whether you are on a full or part pension, this works out what a week of support would cost against your quarterly budget — and what your share would be. We don't ask for your income, your assets or your contact details.

1. Your funding classification

My Aged Care tells you this after your assessment. It is on your letter.

2. Your pension status

This sets what share of the price you contribute. We don't ask for income or assets — the Department works that out and tells you.

3. The support you're thinking about

Hours per week. Prices are Real Caring's published weekday rates.

Add some hours on the left and we'll show what it would cost against this budget.

Nothing here is sent to us or saved. A quarter is counted as 13 weeks. This is an estimate — the Department confirms your classification and contribution rate, and our full fee schedule has every price.

Want it worked out properly?

A Care Partner will sit down with you and build a real budget and service plan around your funding — at no cost, at your place.
