What about fees?
Home Care Fees Schedule
Home Care Fees are set by the Australian Commonwealth Government and are payable by a Home Care Package recipient to the service provider.
Basic Daily Fees – Care recipients may be asked to pay basic daily fee out of their pocket. However, Living Waters does not and will not ask care recipients to pay basic daily fees.
Income Tested Fees – These fees are means tested and determined by the Department of Human Services.

The amount you pay depends on individual financial circumstances and the Australian Government’s regulations. However, if you’re approved for home care packages we will ensure all services are provided within the limits of your home care package.
Living Waters can also offer special arrangements to match your needs even if you’re not approved for home care packages.
Additional private fee services can be arranged on requests.
