What’s Happened? 

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has updated the Community Nursing Schedule of Fees, effective for 28-day claim periods starting on or after 1 January 2025. 

This includes the usual annual fee adjustment and a 1.464% increase for personal care fees. The increase reflects changes from the Fair Work Commission’s Stage 3 decision to raise wages for aged care workers, including personal care workers, home care workers, and assistants in nursing. 

 

Why is this Important? 

Staying up to date with these changes ensures your organisation is claiming correctly and following DVA requirements. Updating your CRM or accounting systems with the new fees will help avoid billing errors. 

Remember to check your clients’ eligibility before providing or claiming services. Claims must cover all services delivered during the 28-day period. Keeping on top of these updates helps ensure smooth operations and timely payments.
