* Pourato uses a funding rate to 6.dp for this set of rates. We have rounded to 2.dp for ease of reading. (Note these GST exclusive rates are not effective until the 1 July payment.)
Note: The above 1 January 2025 standard funding rates were used to pay the 1 November 2024 advance funding for January and February 2025. From 1 January 2025, the home-based services standard funding rates will no longer be an option. The quality funding rates will remain. In the 1 March 2025 wash-up funding payment, all home-based payments from 1 January will be at the quality funding rates.
** Rates with an effective date from 1 July 2025 onwards are GST exclusive rates. These rates are 2.dp in Pourato.
*** GST inclusive rates for rates effective from 1 July 2025 are for comparison only.
