July 1, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

New “Community Care” or “Commonwealth Home and Community Care” (HACC) clients now have to pay for services, the Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service announced today.<\/p>\n

Existing HACC clients will not be affected.<\/p>\n

DDHHS HACC manager Mark Savill said the changes brought the local health service into line with other service providers, as well as other State and Territory organisations which charge for services.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to note that the contribution will be based upon the client\u2019s individual income, means-to-pay, circumstance and type of service,\u201d Mr Savill said.<\/p>\n

Assessments, to determine what and how many types of services to provide to each client, will not incur a fee.<\/p>\n

Contributions will start at $7 per hour or per occasion (depending on service) and will be capped per week, according to income.<\/p>\n

He said existing clients, who are not required to pay, would be “welcome to make a voluntary contribution for the services they receive”.<\/p>\n
