This page provides the user with an overview on the registration of HCP Client Leave periods.

Introduction

The Brevity HCP module is supported by a client leave period module, which allows the organisation to register temporary periods of leave for their package managed clients. The temporary periods of leave, subject to duration and whether total number of days in the current financial year has exceeded 28 days that are recorded within Brevity can impact the amount of government subsidy received or the amount that the client is required to pay.

For additional information on temporary leave periods refer to https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/home-care-packages-program/managing/temporary-leave .

Approved client leave periods will be reflected on the schedule board. The organisation must ensure that when approving client leave periods that any services that are scheduled during the leave period are cancelled.
