CLIENT FEES
Client fees play an important
part in the ability of the
organisation to respond to the needs of its clients by supplementing
the contribution to the costs
of service provision made by the Federal
and State Governments.The organisation will not use the clients ability
to pay fees to determine whether to provide a funded service or
not.Both the level of income and amount of service used by a client
will be considered in determining the clients capacity to pay fees.
