FAQ’s - Funding

Through My Aged Care, you can access funding via Home Care Packages or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme. Both provide financial support based on your care needs and are means-tested to determine your contributions.

The NDIS offers funding tailored to your disability needs, covering Core Supports for daily activities, Capacity Building for skill development, and Capital Supports for assistive technology. Eligibility depends on meeting specific criteria and completing an assessment.

For My Aged Care, contributions are based on your income and assets. The NDIS generally covers necessary support costs, though some services, like transport, may require small contributions.
