Support at Home Monthly Statements: Delivering Confidence Through Reliable Billing
The introduction of the Support at Home program has brought significant changes for aged care providers, placing greater emphasis on transparency, accountability and consumer confidence.
One of the most important requirements under the new program is the delivery of accurate monthly statements to every participant. These statements give participants a clear picture of how their funding is being used, helping them make informed decisions about their care while ensuring providers meet their compliance obligations.
While the intent of these reforms is positive, the transition has not been without its challenges.
Monthly Statements Are Now a Critical Compliance Requirement
Under the Support at Home program, providers are required to issue a monthly statement to every participant—even if no services were delivered during that month.
These statements must clearly outline:
Government funding received
Participant contributions
Services delivered
Care management and package management costs
Remaining available budget
Importantly, statements must be provided by the end of the following month, making timely and accurate billing processes essential.
The Industry Has Faced Significant Challenges
As providers transitioned to the new Support at Home arrangements, many encountered difficulties generating compliant monthly statements.
The Australian Government has acknowledged that some providers have experienced software-related issues producing mandatory monthly statements and has advised providers to work closely with their software vendors or implement alternative processes while solutions are developed.
For many organisations, this has resulted in increased administration, manual workarounds and additional pressure on finance and billing teams—all while continuing to deliver quality care to participants.
The TriOnline Difference
While many providers across the sector continue to navigate challenges producing mandatory Support at Home monthly statements, TriOnline clients have been generating compliant statements from the outset.
Through Talgara's integrated billing solution, providers can consistently produce accurate monthly statements that help participants understand exactly how their funding is being spent, while reducing the compliance risks associated with delayed or incomplete reporting.
Reliable Billing Gives Providers Confidence
At Talgara, we believe providers should be spending their time caring for people—not worrying about whether their billing system can keep up with legislative change.
Our proven billing solution has been designed specifically for the aged care sector, enabling providers to generate compliant monthly statements accurately, consistently and on time.
For our clients, this means:
Consistent delivery of monthly participant statements
Accurate funding and billing information

More Than Compliance
A reliable billing platform offers benefits well beyond meeting legislative requirements.
When billing processes are automated and dependable, providers gain greater confidence in their financial reporting, reduce administrative workload and minimise the risk of errors or delays. Staff can spend less time resolving billing issues and more time supporting participants.
As aged care reforms continue to evolve, partnering with a software provider that understands both the legislation and the operational realities of the sector is becoming increasingly important.
