Help shape in-home aged care pricing
Public consultation is now open.
Sponsored Story
The Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA) invites you to have your say on the development of Support at Home pricing advice to the Australian Government.
By taking part, you can help ensure our advice for the Support at Home service list meets the needs of the in-home aged care sector and reflects the cost of delivering care.
Who can participate?
IHACPA wants to hear from as many voices as possible, including:
• In-home providers and workers
• Peak bodies, government departments, and agencies
• In-home aged care participants and their families
• Carers and representatives
• Members of the public.
Have your say on a range of topics
The authority has considered stakeholder feedback from previous public consultations in developing the focus areas this year.
These can be explored in the Consultation Paper on the Pricing Framework for Australian Support at Home Aged Care Services 2027-28 and include:
• Enhancing future cost collections to better support participation
• Understanding cost pressures and supporting data
• The differences in provider cost pressures between the Commonwealth Home Support Program and Support at Home.
