About CareLevelReady

Since November 2025, the Support at Home classification is set by an algorithm using what the assessor records in the Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT). The assessor can’t change the result on the day. Since October 2026 the law also lets the assessment organisation ask for an additional review in exceptional cases, but for most families the assessment itself is the moment that counts.

Older people often tell assessors they are “fine”. Families often help so much that the gaps no longer show. And when the decision arrives, there are only 28 days to ask for a review. We build tools for those moments.

• An accurate record, not a higher score. Our tools help you describe needs as they really are. We never suggest exaggerating, and our documents say so.
• No referral fees, ever.We don't recommend providers or take commissions. You pay one public price for a document, and that's our only income.
• Official sources first. Every rule, deadline and dollar amount links to the government document it came from, with the date we last checked it.
• Families do the talking. We prepare drafts and checklists. You decide what to say and submit.

• We work from primary sources: the Aged Care Act 2024, the Aged Care Rules 2025, and the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing's technical guides, assessment manual and budget tables.
• Every guide lists its sources, grouped as law and rules, official guidance, and news, and shows the date its facts were last checked. News reports are never the only source for a rule or deadline.
• The calculator implements the published classification rules and formulas directly, and is tested against every row of the official classification table.
• When rules change — budgets are indexed each July, and the assessment tool is under independent review — we update the affected guides and the calculator, and change the “last checked” date.
• Spotted something out of date? Email contact@carelevelready.comand we'll correct it.
