Support Clusters Definitions and Pricing

Support Clusters Definitions and Pricing

The following price list helps DisabilityCare Australia to estimate and approve the cost of individualised plans. The price list includes prices for the most commonly used supports.

Terms

 UoM : Unit of Measure. The Unit of Measure varies with the type of support being provided - for e.g. per year/per hour

 Bis: Based on Individual Situation

 Max$: Some frequently used supports have a set maximum price. For these supports DisabilityCare Australia will not pay higher than this rate for the support.

 Benchmark$: Benchmark prices are based on market research and the price listed is an estimate for planning purposes. The price paid will need to be consistent with the benchmark price. Standard supports, with lower benchmark prices, do not need a quote.

 Prices are GST exclusive

For highly specialised or higher cost supports a quotation will be required - this may be supplied as a general quotation for a suite of specialists services such as early childhood intervention or specifically for a customised piece of equipment.

Travel

Travel within 10kms is included in the price of the support. Where no support is available locally travel for longer distances will be included in the participant’s plan.

Equipment

DisabilityCare Australia will also provide rental equipment and repairs, maintenance and delivery of equipment. These are not included in the prices below and are quoted separately.

Remote and very remote

Loadings will apply to the provision of supports in remote and very remote areas in accordance with the rates set by the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority.
