Maximum weekly amount payable

Generally the maximum amount of Community Costs payable is $300 a week.

If the client has exceptional circumstances, Service Managers only may approve an increase in the amount payable above $300 a week.

You must fully document your decision and the reasons why the amount being paid exceeds $300 a week.
