Price cap
Definition
A national maximum hourly or per-service amount that the Australian Government planned to set for capped Support at Home services. The 1 July 2026 commencement was deferred indefinitely in May 2026, so there is currently no national price cap in force. Providers continue to set their own prices; the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles billing complaints.
