| SRC-060 | Support at Home Pricing Advice 2026-27 — advisory unit prices, NOT a legal cap: personal care $103.11, domestic assistance $111.87, registered nurse $184.55, care management clinical $126.83 | IHACPA pricing advice, dated November 2025, released about 28 May 2026 | https://www.ihacpa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2026-05/support_at_home_pricing_advice_2026-27.pdf | Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority | 2026-05-28 | 2026-09-07 | Medium | Advisory, not a legal ceiling, so a provider may price above or below it; PDF read through a summarising fetch rather than a raw table extract, and the evening, weekend and public holiday differentials were not captured |

| SRC-074 | Support at Home direct-services line, March 2026 quarter: revenue $63.85 per client per day against direct cost $47.75 per client per day, a positive margin of $16.10 per client per day | Aged Care Financial Performance Survey, March 2026, Support at Home results, direct-services table | https://stewartbrown.com.au/images/documents/StewartBrown_-_Aged_Care_Financial_Performance_Survey_Report_March_2026_-_Support_at_Home.pdf | StewartBrown | 2026-06-01 | 2026-09-07 | Low | V6 found that the $16.10 figure carried the whole of REQ-AC-04 while sitting in no source row — it was quoted from the verification record V4, and a scratch verification file is not a source register. The two component figures were transcribed from the survey PDF through a summarising fetch rather than a raw table read, and the survey samples participating providers rather than the whole sector, which is the reason this is Low rather than Medium |
