Categories 1–3
Lower-risk home, community, equipment and support services
Category 4
Personal and care support in the home or community
Package prices are starting prices and depend on the selected registration categories, service types, organisational structure, existing systems, implementation requirements and audit-readiness support. Government registration, audit and other third-party fees are not included unless expressly stated in a Zulem quotation. Zulem provides registration and compliance consulting support but cannot guarantee a regulator or audit outcome.
