Screen idea · The same page, easier to act on. Every section of AIC's Day Care page is here in AIC's words, with AIC's photograph. The provider finder no longer lists the first six of 163 names; it asks where the person lives and shows the nearest centres, with three choices that matter for day care. Three facts and one button answer the first questions before any scrolling. A short menu on the left keeps the long page navigable, as it does today. Related links at the end connect this service to guides and schemes that sit in other sections of the site.

FAQs

Tell me more about the means-testing criteria.

Household monthly income per person is the criteria used when there is a household income. It is the total gross household monthly income divided by the number of family members living together. When there is no household income, the Annual Value of the home is used instead.

How can I check or update my household information for means-testing?

Use the MediShield Life Household Check e-Service, or call the MediShield Life Hotline on 1800 222 3399.
