financials

Accommodation costs can be paid either as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or a combination of both.

Residents have a period of 28 days after entering to decide on their payment method. Accommodation costs are determined by a resident’s assessable income and assets.

Ongoing care fees include:

Basic Daily Fee – payable by all residents and determined by the Federal Government.
Means Tested Care Fee – will be determined by a resident’s assessable income and assets.
The value of your home will be assessed for the purpose of the Means Test Care Fee up to a cap unless occupied by a protected person such as your spouse.
Residents can spend up to 52 nights a year away from the aged care home without affecting any government financial assistance. This is called social leave and only counts if you spend the night away from the care home. If you spend more than 52 nights away from the home, the government will cease to pay any subsidies for the extra time and the home may ask you to pay more.
