Support at Home budget calculator

Choose an ongoing classification to estimate the quarterly funding allocation and balance for direct services. Uses the Department’s published amounts effective 1 July 2026.

Ongoing classification level

Use the classification on the participant’s support plan. This estimate covers full funding for an ongoing level, excluding supplements, carry-over and contributions. Transitioned HCP classifications, interim funding and short-term pathways need a separate calculation.

How the calculation works

Start with the classification on the support plan. The calculator uses published annual and quarterly amounts, preserving the Department’s quarterly rounding, and estimates the 10% allocation to care management.

Care-management funding is pooled at service delivery branch level. Read the care-management guide for funding context.

This is an estimate for a full quarter at full ongoing funding. It excludes participant contributions, supplements and carry-over. Check the actual funding account, service plan and agreed prices before making spending decisions. Different arrangements apply to transitioned HCP classifications, interim funding and short-term pathways.

Figures are effective 1 July 2026 and were checked on 25 September 2026. Check the Department’s current table when preparing an individual budget.
