Basic Daily Fee (optional)

Assist Ability Australia charge a daily fee up to $12.53 to contribute towards the administrative costs of managing your package.

Income Tested Care Fee

An income assessment conducted by Services Australia might determine if you need to contribute further towards your care. This fee is not applicable to everyone, and there are annual and lifetime caps on how much you can contribute.

Additional Fees
