Provider Institute Best Practice Tip

Providers should treat the Support at Home funding classifications and the subsidy and supplement schedule as a single integrated funding system rather than separate policy documents.

Early mapping of existing clients against likely classification levels, and identifying potential supplement eligibility, will be key to ensuring financial sustainability and smooth transition into the new system.
