There are a couple forms of government funding options that are provided for in home care. Legacy Aged Care is an approved provider to manage and deliver Home Care Packages.
A Home Care Package is one form of aged care funding provided by the Australian Government. It helps to pay for services that enable you to remain independent, safe, and well at home.
We help you select services that are tailored to your individual needs and ensure you get the most value out of your Home Care Package.
Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for a Home Care Package ranging from levels 1-4. The difference between the levels is the amount of support you require to meet your needs and the amount of government contributions provided to deliver these support services.

We understand that it can be stressful navigating and waiting for a Home Care Package, especially when you need timely support. We can arrange services if you have been approved for a HCP and are waiting for assignment, providing comfort to you and your family.

The Legacy Aged Care Community places you at the centre of your care, but also recognises the role of the wider community in keeping you well, including your family and loved ones. We keep you connected to the people and things that matter, ensuring a holistic outcome in reaching your care needs.
Care Management is a service provided to you to help you get the most out of your Home Care Package care and services. This includes helping you to identify and prioritise your needs and goals, set up a schedule of services, find the right workers for you, and monitor your services to make sure you are getting great results. Unfortunately, despite some providers’ high fees, their care management is less effective because the people responsible for looking after you are busy with administrative tasks. It’s not unusual for care managers from some Providers to spend more than 50% of their time on admin due to outdated systems and technology. At Legacy Aged Care, we pride ourselves on the quality of care management that you receive, and we work hard to improve our processes and make sure that our Care Managers are focused on you. We take all the administrative work off our Care managers and absorb this into the cost of our Package Management. This way your Care Manager can be in regular contact with you, your representatives and your workers to make sure things are being done the way you like, and to offer their expert advice. And if anything changes, your Care Manager is always available.
Our fees are simple. We’re honest and transparent about where your funding goes, and we don’t charge entry or exit fees. We also don’t charge the basic daily fee.
Legacy Aged Care has highly competitive fees due to our great service delivery partnerships and efficient systems. This allows us to focus on the things that improve your experience and quality of care, rather than administration and paperwork.
Approx. 7% – covers the admin needed to ensure government compliance and financial management of your package.

Unless you are a full Pensioner, you may be asked to pay an Income Tested Care Fee (ITCF). The Department of Human Services (Centrelink) will assess your income and let you know how much you need to pay towards your care. Your income is reviewed by Centrelink quarterly. Providers cannot waive or discount this fee. If you haven’t had a means test, Legacy Aged Care can help you with this process.
To get an estimate of how much you will be required to pay, please view the government’s ITCF calculator:

We can help you apply for Government contributions and guide you through each of the six steps of the application process below. With Legacy Aged Care you can be sure that your dedicated support team will:
My Aged Care will contact you with a time and date for your assessment. During this assessment, you should discuss your needs, situation, and any current care or support services that you are receiving.
It is important for the assessors to understand your capabilities with and without support (formal or informal).
The Aged Care Assessment Team/Service (ACAT/ACAS) will schedule a time to visit you at your home. This assessment will determine if you are eligible for a Home Care Package and which package level best meets your support needs. There are four levels – basic, low-level, intermediate, and high-level.
It is important for the assessors to understand your capabilities with and without support (formal or informal). Legacy Aged Care can help prepare you to get the most out of your assessment.
After your assessment, My Aged Care will send you a letter to let you know if you are eligible to receive a Home Care Package, and what level of funding you’ve been approved for. If eligible, you will be placed on a national waitlist and notified when your package becomes available. Packages can have significant wait times and are prioritised on a needs basis.
When you receive your letter, call us, and we can guide you through the next steps. While you are waiting we can assist you with interim support services that you may need.
Approximately three months before you can access your package, you will get a ‘Readiness Letter’ from My Aged Care, which will include some paperwork you will need to complete. We can help you fill this out and start a discussion about your support in preparation for when you receive your package.
Once you have been allocated a Home Care Package, you will receive a letter outlining that a package has been assigned to you.
You’ll have 56 days from the date you receive your letter to choose a provider, such as Legacy Aged Care, and commence services. An extension of 28 days is available should you require more time.
To request an extension simply call Legacy Aged Care.
The final step is to create your care/support plan. This is where we get to know you better, learning about your life, and your preferences. We then work with you to tailor a plan that outlines your goals, and the supports required for you to achieve them. Once this plan is complete, we can schedule your first service!
If you’re looking to switch to a Home Care Provider that provides you with the better care and value, switch to Legacy Aged Care. It is super easy and switching doesn’t mean you have to stop or lose services!
If you’re unhappy with your current Home Care provider because you aren’t getting consistent care, or you can’t get in touch with your provider, maybe you are paying too much on fees and service charges or don’t hear from your Care Manager. Legacy Aged Care can help, call us to switch today!
