What could I get?

Four plain questions about the person who needs care. The summary fills in as you go. Nothing you choose leaves this device.

How old is the person who needs care?
Where are things up to?
Which classification? It's in the letter after the assessment. Skip this if you don't know yet.
Which fits best? This decides the share of each service they pay.

Your summary

Choose an answer to any question and this fills in.

Figures current at 1 July 2026, checked 22/10/2026 against health.gov.au and the schedule of contributions. A guide, not a decision: My Aged Care, Services Australia and your provider decide the real amounts.

Then: how many hours does it buy?

Support at Home gives each person a quarterly budget. Before anything is spent, 10% goes to the provider for care management. What's left pays for services, so the hourly rate decides how much care actually turns up.

Classification It's on the letter from My Aged Care. Not sure? Try 4.

The starting rates are only examples. Move them to your own numbers.

Classification 4 is $7,617.13 a quarter.

At $95 an hour

5.5 hours a week

At $66 an hour

8 hours a week

Same money, about 32 more hours of care a quarter.

An illustration, not a quote. It uses the quarterly budgets current at 01/07/2026 from health.gov.au, takes off the 10% for care management, and spreads the rest over 13 weeks. Your real hours also depend on the services you use, any contribution you pay, and what your provider agrees to.
