Accessing Services Through Third-Party Providers

In addition to the services we offer directly, we can support you in accessing services from third-party providers to help meet your broader care needs. The choice of provider is entirely yours; you may select from our panel of trusted partners or nominate a provider of your own. Our providers are thoroughly vetted and monitored to ensure that you receive high quality care.
We’ll work with you to coordinate these services and ensure your chosen provider meets all relevant quality, safety, and administrative standards. Because costs may vary depending on the provider and your individual circumstances, we’ll confirm the price and any applicable contribution before the service is arranged.
Examples of services that may be delivered by third-party providers include:

  • Gardening
  • Meal delivery
  • Transport services

The final price for third-party services will include the actual cost of the service, plus up to 10% to cover our administration support. This includes:

  • Ensuring third-party workers meet obligations under the Aged Care Act (e.g. worker screening, training in our complaints and incident management procedures)
  • Managing claims and reimbursements on your behalf

Our goal is to make accessing additional support simple, safe, and tailored to your needs.

More Care When You Need It – Additional Services

If you require extra support or more hours of care beyond what your current funding covers, you have the option to purchase additional services at your own expense. These services are charged at the full rates listed in your pricing schedule, and no contribution assessment from Services Australia is required.
