Why every month waiting costs money: the OAP age cliffs
Under current OAP guidelines, your core clinical allocation is based on your child's age on January 1 of the year of your Determination of Needs interview. If your child crosses age 10 while on the waitlist, the Extensive allocation drops:
- Up to 3 years old
- $65,000
- 4 to 9 years old
- $65,000
- 10 to 14 years old
- $41,400
- 15 to 17 years old
- $31,900
