Support at Home Level 6: funding, services and who it suits
Level 6 funds high-need home support and is paid as a quarterly budget of roughly $12,386 from the annual amount of $49,544.40 (effective 1 November 2025).
Who Support at Home Level 6 suits
Older Australians with high care needs and a strong preference to remain at home. Often the right level for participants whose alternative would be considering residential care.
What services Level 6 typically funds
- Daily personal care across morning and evening routines
- Frequent registered-nurse and allied health visits
- Weekly domestic help, meal preparation and transport
- Significant respite budget to support family carers
A Level 6 plan often funds twice-daily personal care, a weekly registered nurse, fortnightly allied health, a weekly cleaner and a regular respite block. The Wayly Statement Decoder is especially useful at this level because the monthly statement runs to dozens of line items.
Check whether Level 6 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.
