Paid attendant care services

If you received or will receive care support when you suffered the harm, you may be able to claim paid attendant care costs.

This includes services that you’ve already had or will get and you’ve paid for.

What proof you need

You need to provide the following documents with your claim:

  • a completed COVID-19 vaccine claims scheme expenses form
  • proof that you got, or will get care support and it was needed
  • invoices to confirm the services provided
  • proof to support any future paid attendant care you may need and for how long
  • proof of any amounts you got or will get from third parties, for example, private health insurance
  • a third party payment statement.

How you calculate paid attendant care service costs

If you’re claiming past care services, you need to calculate the actual costs you had for those services.

If you’re claiming for future care services, you need to calculate the number of hours per week, and when the care will likely be needed.

For both past and future services, you need to deduct any amounts you got or will get from third parties.
