Fees and Rebates
First Light Care is a non-government-funded, not-for-profit organisation. Our fundings are based on the generous donation of our supporters and the service fees we charge. We strive to keep our services as affordable as possible while maintaining the level of professional standard expected.
If you have a health care card or if you are experiencing financial difficulties, you may apply for a fee reduction. Please note that applying for a fee reduction does not mean that fee reduction will be granted automatically. The amount of assistance applied is also at the discretion of First Light Care.
