How many hours in a Level 2 Home Care Package?
There are a number of variables that affect the number of hours of care you could receive as part of your Home Care Package. The four different levels of Home Care Packages are each designed for a specific level of care, and each has a different maximum government contribution amount attached. The government contribution is paid directly to your chosen Home Care service provider, who may deduct administration and case management fees from it. In addition to this, you may also be asked to pay a basic daily fee and an income-tested fee. The final variable that will influence how many hours of care you can receive is the hourly rate charged by your chosen Home Care service provider.
| Home Care Package Level | Type of Care Needed | Maximum Yearly Government Contribution 1 | Approximate Number of Hours of Home Care 2 |
| Level 1 | Basic Care | up to $10,271 | 2-3 hours per week |
| Level 2 | Low-Level Care | up to $18,064 | 4-5 hours per week |
| Level 3 | Intermediate Care | up to $39,311 | 9-10 hours per week |
| Level 4 | High-Level Care | up to $59,594 | 14-15 hours per week |
