Basic Daily Fee
Juniper does not charge a Basic Daily Fee as a standard charge. However, if you find your needs exceed your approved Government funding and you do not have enough money for all the services you need, you can opt to pay a Basic Daily Fee. In this case, Juniper can charge a Basic Daily Fee so you can access more of the services you need. This helps cover the cost of your chosen care or assistance. Your Basic Daily Fee will be calculated on the services you require and will never exceed the maximum Basic Daily Fee set by the Government.
Cancellation policy
It’s inevitable in life that plans can change. If you need to cancel your service, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice, otherwise a cancellation charge may apply.
Travel costs
We do not charge the cost of travelling to or from your home for a service. If travel is part of your social support service a charge of $1/km applies.
Further financial support
If you receive a Home Care Package, you may be eligible for additional funding through a supplement. These supplements are available if you meet specific special care criteria (such as dementia and cognition support, medical oxygen requirements or people who require feeding through enteral valves) or a veterans’ supplement. Please ask your care coordinator about any supplements you may qualify for.
