Can I take temporary leave from my Home Care Package?

Yes, there is the option to take leave from your Home Care Package in certain situations. For example:

• For a hospital stay.
• For transition care – which may follow a hospital stay.
• To receive respite care.
• For social reasons.

If you take a temporary leave from your Home Care Package, your funding will continue for up to 28 days at your regular basic subsidy rate. However, after 28 days the subsidy will decrease to 25% of the basic subsidy rate.
