Additional Information
Basic Daily Fee
Everyone pays a basic daily fee. This fee helps the facility pay for your day-to-day services such as meals, cleaning, facilities management, and laundry.
You pay this fee directly to your aged care home, on a monthly basis. The fee applies for every night you are a resident, including nights when you might be away — for example, on social*, hospital and emergency leave. (*leave is capped)
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.
Means Tested Care Fee
This fee is a contribution that some resident may be required to pay, as determined through a means test assessment. It is an ongoing fee towards the cost of your personal and clinical care.
The means tested care fee is different for everyone, and not everyone will have to pay for it if your means test falls under the set threshold. Services Australia will let you and your provider know if any applicable amount is payable once you enter care.
Your means tested care fee will be between $0 and $358.41 per day. The maximum means tested care fee changes with indexation and is regularly updated on this site.
Your means tested care fee does not remain fixed when you enter an aged care home; it can change over time.
Accommodation Fees
This payment will differ at each home based upon the room type you choose. The Classic Room refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) is $395,000. 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 $395,000, you could choose to pay $200,000 as a refundable lump sum, and also pay a reduced non-refundable daily payment.
