Access Community Social and Rec Activ - Standard - Sunday

When to use this code

Use this code when supporting a participant to engage in community activities on a Sunday. This covers attending social events, clubs, recreational activities, or any community-based outing. Sunday rates include a higher loading than Saturday, which means this code will use funding faster than standard weekday codes.

Common billing scenarios

• A support worker takes a participant to a local sporting club for 3 hours on a Sunday. The provider claims 3 hours at $127.43 for the direct support time.
• A participant attends a community art class with support worker assistance. The 2-hour session is billed under this code. Entry fees or class costs are not included in the support worker rate and may need separate funding.

Provider notes

• Non-face-to-face delivery is allowed for this code. This means you can bill for activities like report writing, care coordination calls, or progress notes, provided your service agreement with the participant covers these activities. Keep clear records of what non-face-to-face work was done and how long it took.
• Provider travel can be claimed under this code. You can bill for reasonable travel time to reach the participant, but only for the portion of travel that exceeds normal commuting. Travel costs should be shared proportionally if you are seeing multiple participants in one trip.
• Short notice cancellation fees apply. If a participant cancels with less than 7 clear days notice (or 2 clear business days for some supports), you can charge up to 90% of the agreed fee. You must document the cancellation and have the cancellation policy in your service agreement.
• This is a Core support, which means participants can generally use their Core funding flexibly across different Core categories (unless their plan states otherwise). Check with the participant’s plan manager if you are unsure about flexibility.
