📢 Elder Rights Advocacy Collaborates with IHACPA on Support at Home Pricing for 2025–26 📢 We are honoured to be invited to contribute to the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority’s (IHACPA) pricing approach for the upcoming Support at Home program. Launching in July 2025, this program is set to make home care more affordable and responsive to the unique needs of older Australians. Our advocates’ grassroots experience positions ERA as a trusted voice in helping to establish a fair, impactful pricing structure. Here’s more about IHACPA’s expanded role and why our involvement matters: 🔹 IHACPA’s Evolving Role: Primarily recognised for its work in public hospital pricing, IHACPA is now taking on a vital advisory role in aged care pricing. With a commitment to transparency, IHACPA conducts annual consultations to shape its pricing frameworks. 🔹 Support at Home Program: Part of the new Aged Care Bill 2024 reforms, Support at Home will introduce unit-based services to assist older Australians at home. Initial pricing advice will be provided by IHACPA by February 2025, ahead of the program’s July launch. We look forward to supporting this significant step towards affordable, high-quality care at home. 📢 Elder Rights Advocacy (ERA) Collaborates with IHACPA on Support at Home Pricing for 2025–26.
