Support at Home Level 2: funding, services and who it suits

Who Support at Home Level 2 suits
Older Australians who need help most weeks across more than one type of service. Common after a fall, a hospital stay or a change in mobility.
What services Level 2 typically funds
- Two or three visits a week of personal care or domestic help
- Weekly cleaning, laundry and meal preparation
- Regular social support or transport
- Allied health visits as recommended by the GP
A typical Level 2 plan covers two short personal-care visits a week, a weekly cleaner and a fortnightly podiatry visit. The quarterly budget gives families enough headroom to add transport during a hospital follow-up.
Check whether Level 2 still fits
Needs change. If your parent's care plan keeps running short or family is filling more gaps than a year ago, it may be time to review the level.
