Fees, funding and self-management.
How do I know what services I can receive?
Your approved services will depend on your assessment and support plan. We will explain the supports available to you and how your funding can be used.
Will I understand the fees before services start?
Yes. We believe pricing should be clear, fair and easy to understand. Pricing, inclusions and any client contributions that apply are explained before services begin.
Why do providers charge for care management?
Care management covers the time, planning and coordination needed to keep your care safe, appropriate and well organised. We aim to be transparent about what that involves.
Can I self-manage my Support at Home services?
Yes. Some clients choose self-management for more control over how their services are arranged.
What does self-management mean?
Self-management means you may take a more active role in arranging parts of your support. That can include choosing delivery times, being involved in rostering, or coordinating supports.
Will I still have a provider if I self-manage?
Yes. A registered provider stays involved and remains responsible for making sure services are delivered safely and appropriately.
Do I still need care management if I self-manage?
Yes. Care management still applies when a client chooses to self-manage. It keeps planning, review, coordination, risk identification and goal alignment in place.
Can Ashand Care and Services support clients who want more control?
Yes. We support choice, control and involvement in care, and we work with clients and families to explain the options.
What if I am currently self-managing but feel unsupported?
Speak with our team. Some clients need guidance, clear communication and support to understand their responsibilities.
Will I be involved in decisions about my care?
Yes. Your care should be built around you. We listen to your preferences, routines, goals and concerns, and involve the family members you want involved.
Can I change providers?
Yes. Clients generally have choice and control over who provides their aged care services.
Do I have to accept services I do not want?
No. Your supports should reflect your assessed needs, goals and preferences.
