Manad Plus Rate Update Version Released
The next Manad Plus version update, which contains all the various rate updates, has now been finalised and released.
The Indexation of Residential Aged Care and Home Care subsidy and supplement rates to take effect from 1 July 2017 were published earlier this week. If you would like to make yourself familiar with the new rates, you will have received these via our eNews sent out on Tuesday 27th June (you can view that here).
Version 5 clients:
A new version, 5.4.56290.0, has been pushed out to all servers which were online. Those that were offline were not able to receive the upgrade file and you will need to contact our Help Desk to request this again (once your server is back online and able to receive the update file).
Please arrange for your IT Administrator to backup your database first and then run this update when all staff have logged out of Manad Plus, at a time which is convenient to you.
NOTE: We recommend running this when our help desk is open and you can receive support if needed.
Version 4 clients:
A new version, 4.17.10, which will contain the new rates has been created and we are in the process of logging in and manually running this update for you on your server as we have done in the past (or if we have had other arrangements in the past we will continue with this process).
If you have any questions, then please contact our Help Desk:
