Admin Fees Compare
With The Rest?

Prestige’s combined Care Management and Package Management fees to total 29%. This figure is below that of many other providers and the maximum 35% fee cap (combined care management and package management) that the Government has allowed for.
Exit Fees And Other Charges
It has always been policy for Prestige Inhome Care to never charge exit fees when clients discontinue HCP services with us. This has been one way we have demonstrated our commitment to ensuring clients receive as much value as possible from their Home Care Package.
From 1 January 2023, providers will also not be allowed to charge exit fees*.
From 1 January 2023, providers will
also not be allowed to charge
separate charges for brokerage
or subcontracting of third-party
goods or services*.
Prestige will be implementing a new preferred provider arrangement for third party services to ensure our clients are able to maximise the value of their Home Care Package. This will allow us to secure the best possible rates and value for our HCP clients and ensure the third-party provider fees remain stable.
Ensuring Your Care
Plan Works For You
Your care plan is your Home Care Package in action. It is very important to have a care plan in place which is centred around your needs.
Prestige case managers work with you and your family to develop individualised care plans, designed to address your unique requirements and goals. Our approach is to maintain consistent communication between our office staff and clients /families, to ensure a continuous and common understanding of the care provided. Care plans are reviewed twice yearly and can also be updated where client’s needs change.
