Under the Living Longer Living Better aged care reforms all existing aged care packages (HACC, CACP, EACH and EACH-D) will be consolidated into a single program known as ‘Home Care Packages Program’.
From July 2013, there will be four levels of Home Care Packages, including two new levels:
Home Care Level 1
A new package to support people with basic care needs
Home Care Level 2
Equivalent to the existing CACP
Home Care Level 3
A new package to support people with intermediate care needs
Home Care Level 4
Equivalent to the existing EACH package
Your initial consultation will include further detail about these new packages and their implications.
