This fee is set out by the Government and equates to 85% of the full pension. The fee amount will be reviewed by the government on the 20th of March and 20th of September each year in line with the pension increase. Everyone in aged care is required to pay this fee unless they are experiencing financial hardship which will be determined by Centrelink.

The Non-Clinical Care Contribution (NCCC) fee is in addition to the Basic Daily Fee for those who are financially able to pay, in accordance with the government’s assessment.

This payment will differ at each home based upon the room type you choose. The Classic Room refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) is $470,000. Instead of paying a refundable lump sum amount, you can choose to pay a non-refundable daily accommodation payment (DAP). The DAP amount you pay is based on a daily rate; as agreed with your service provider in line with the current MPIR (maximum permissible interest rate). The MPIR is a government-set interest rate which is used to calculate the non-refundable daily accommodation payment based on the room price. You also have the option to pay using a combination of refundable lump sum and non-refundable daily payments. This is when you combine the two types of payments to meet your costs. You can split the combination any way you choose. For example, for an agreed room price of $470,000, you could choose to pay $235,000 as a refundable lump sum, and also pay a reduced non-refundable daily payment.
