StewartBrown: factor care margins into AN-ACC funding

StewartBrown’s latest analysis of the AN-ACC funding decision has delivered a clear warning: the increase is too low to cover ordinary cost rises and wages, with direct care margins expected to fall further. Historically, those care margins have been used to cross-subsidise losses in accommodation and hotel services. With that buffer narrowing, StewartBrown argues the time has come for the sector to push for margins to be explicitly factored into care funding.

ABC 7.30 hones in on higher home care fees under Support at Home

The ABC’s 7.30 program has put the spotlight on increased consumer contributions under the Government’s new Support at Home scheme, set to begin 1 November 2025. As The Weekly SOURCE reported in SATURDAY back in July, from 1 November 2025, clients approved for Home Care Packages after 12 September 2024 will be required to contribute up to 15% of their service costs. That co-payment could mean $70 to $210 per week for basics like showering or domestic help.
