15Guide to the Unit Costs Spreadsheet
The Unit Price is the price paid by HACC to your organisation for the delivery of one unit of
service.
The Unit Price = Annual Funding Limit for a service type divided by the units to be
delivered.
For example: if we are funded $70,000 to deliver 3,000 hours of personal care the
Contracted Unit Price is $23.33.
Note: the difference between the Unit Price and Unit Cost is made up from fees and other
income.
What if contracted volumes are not delivered?
If contracted volumes are not delivered the Unit Cost will be higher than the expected.
For example: if we spend $70,000 of funding plus fee income of $15,000 plus interest of
$5,000 to deliver 2,000 hours of personal care, the Unit Cost is $45.00 per hour. If we only
deliver 1,000 hours the Unit Cost is $90.00.
In this case the costs need to be reduced and the outputs increased. Analysis of the Unit
Costs will help identify areas where the costs can be reduced. Increased outputs should
focus on delivering services to new clients assessed as requiring services.
