Home Care Package Level 3 – Live with Confidence and Support

A Level 3 Home Care Package provides assistance with daily activities, including personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), domestic support (cleaning, meal preparation), transportation, health services (nursing, physiotherapy, podiatry), and social engagement to help you remain independent at home.

A Level 3 Home Care Package is suitable if you have intermediate care needs, such as needing help with daily activities but still able to live independently. An aged care assessment will determine if Level 3 is the right choice for you based on your physical health and daily care needs.

The Australian Government provides a daily subsidy of $112.18 for Level 3 care. However, depending on your income, you may also be required to pay an income-tested care fee, which is determined by My Aged Care.

Yes, you have the freedom to choose a home care provider who will manage your Level 3 Home Care Package. Make sure to select a provider who can meet your specific care needs, offer flexible services, and communicate clearly about costs.

Your care plan will be reviewed regularly—typically every 12 months—or sooner if your care needs change. This ensures that your Level 3 Home Care Package is always aligned with your evolving requirements.

If your needs change and you require more care, you can request a re-assessment through My Aged Care. If necessary, you can be upgraded to a Level 4 Home Care Package for more comprehensive support.

If you don’t require all the services included in your Level 3 Home Care Package, your provider can help adjust your care plan to focus on the services you need most, ensuring that the funding is used effectively.

Yes, Level 3 Home Care Package funding can be used to provide respite care if you need a short-term break. This allows your primary carer to take time off while ensuring you continue to receive care.

To apply for a Level 3 Home Care Package, you need to go through an Aged Care Assessment via My Aged Care. Once assessed and approved, you can choose a provider and begin developing your care plan.
