Visualcare tracks two types of unspent funds for Support at Home (SAH) clients separately: Provider Held (Commonwealth Unspent) and Government Held (Home Care Account). These appear in reconciliation, statements, and budget summaries.

Funding codes

When reconciling a SAH claim, a Funding column shows which funding bucket each service draws from. The codes used are:

How unspent funds work in Visualcare

During reconciliation

When you reconcile a SAH claim, the Funding column in the reconciliation view identifies which funding bucket each service line draws from. Click on any line item to open a side panel showing a detailed breakdown of the funding used.

On statements

The Support at Home monthly statement includes a summary-level breakdown of any unspent funds drawn during the period. This shows the government component, any Commonwealth Unspent drawdown, and the Home Care Account usage. Participants and their representatives get a clear view of how their available funds were applied across funding buckets.

Ongoing budget surplus

If a client’s Ongoing funding is fully used and Commonwealth Unspent funds are available to cover additional services, the surplus appears in the Ongoing Budget summary section.

Assistive Technology and Home Modifications using unspent funds

If an Assistive Technology (AT) or Home Modifications (HM) item is purchased using Commonwealth Unspent funds, this appears in the HCP Unspent Funds budget summary. Any amounts also drawn from Commonwealth Unspent funds for Ongoing services are reflected here.

Limitations

The following limitations apply to the current version of unspent funds reporting in Visualcare.
  • Commonwealth Unspent funds usage appears in statement summary sections only. It doesn’t show at the individual line item level within a statement.
  • Commonwealth Unspent funds usage doesn’t display on Organisation-level or Client-level SAH dashboards.
