The TAC is aware of the significant impact of COVID-19 on clients and on service providers, particularly in the substantial reduction in community access and therapy supports. To help ensure Attendant Care providers remain viable and retain their staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, the TAC is introducing two financial support measures:
- The 2020-21 3.91% indexation of TAC Attendant Care fees will take effect from Monday 6 April (brought forward from 1 July).
- A temporary 5% loading will be added post indexation to the Attendant Care fees, from Monday 6 April to 28 June 2020.
