Support at Home Pricing Advice 2026–27
Date published: 28 May 2026
IHACPA’s Support at Home Pricing Advice 2026–27 is directly informed by the actual costs of delivering in-home aged care services.
Our advice includes:
- unit prices for each service on the Support at Home service list
- delineation of unit prices for care management into clinical and non-clinical care management
- a separate combined price for team-based care management which is assumed to be the same unit price as home support care management
- information about the confidence intervals around the unit prices and distribution of costs observed
- the labour, non-labour and administration components of the unit prices.
For this advice, the unit prices for each service are based on average unit costs observed in IHACPA’s cost collections, adjusted to account for known cost increases.
Our pricing advice considers a variety of data sources to provide a better understanding of the costs of providing in-home aged care services. This advice also considers feedback from aged care stakeholders as part of our public consultation.
The technical specifications accompany the pricing advice. They detail the methods used to develop our advice.
