Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between private care and government-funded care?
Private care is paid directly by you, while Support at Home services are subsidised by the government.
Both follow the same quality and safety standards, the difference is how they’re funded and how much flexibility you have.
Private care offers immediate access and complete choice, while funded care requires an assessment and comes with set budgets.
I’m a self-funded retiree. How does Support at Home apply to me?
If you’re a self-funded retiree and move into the Support at Home program, Services Australia may ask for your income and asset details to help calculate your contribution rate.
You don’t have to complete this assessment but if you choose not to, you’ll be charged the maximum contribution rate for your care.
Leora can help you understand your options so you can make an informed choice before you transition.
What is a Service Agreement?
A Service Agreement is a written document between you and your aged care provider.
It outlines:
- the services you’ll receive
- the prices for each service
- your rights and responsibilities, and
- your provider’s obligations
Your Service Agreement replaces the old Home Care Agreement under the new Support at Home program. It’s designed to make your care simple, transparent and tailored to your needs so you always know what to expect and how your supports are delivered.
How much will aged care cost?
The cost of your services will depend on your circumstances and whether you are receiving any government subsidies. To get an idea of the cost of your care plan, contact us today
Can I still receive services if I don’t have Support at Home funding?
Yes. You can choose to pay privately for in-home aged care through Leora.
Private services can start immediately and are personalised to your specific needs and preferences, whether it’s just for a few hours a week or full ongoing support.
Can private services help me prepare for Support at Home?
Yes. Many people start privately while waiting for an assessment or funding approval.
Leora can help you get the right supports in place now and make the transition to Support at Home seamless once your funding starts.
Can Leora help me access Support at Home funding?
Absolutely! We’ll guide you through the assessment process and help you prepare for your Support at Home application. Our team can also explain how to use your funding efficiently once you’ve been approved.
Simply call us on 1300 65 11 33 or fill out this contact form to chat with one of our friendly experts.
Can I self-manage my services?
Yes, the Support at Home program allows self-management.
That means you can take a more active role in choosing your supports, scheduling services and managing your budget while Leora handles the essentials to keep things running smoothly.
