There are four levels of ECH Home Care Package Management aligned with the Government Home Care Package levels. The different levels are based on need, at the higher end individual needs are greater and therefore require more hours of care and care planning by your ECH team.

At all levels of ECH Home Care Package Management there are two components that make up the service, the first and most important is Care Management.
Care Management covers the time involved to plan your care and services to ensure that your goals and needs are being met.

The second component is Package Management. This is defined by My Aged Care as the costs involved to administer your Home Care Package. This includes creating and mailing of monthly statements, paying invoices and ensuring services are compliant with quality standards.

The cost of ECH Home Care Package Management has been split into these two components so that our pricing is easy to understand.
