Residential Care Fees and Charges

During your time in residential care, you may be required to pay one or more of the following fees:

Basic Daily Care Fee

This fee is set by the Department of Human Services and is subject to increase twice a year—in March and September. It applies to all residents, regardless of income or assets.

Means-Tested Care Fee

This fee is determined by the Department of Human Services or the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, based on the outcome of your Income and Assets Assessment.
If you choose not to complete this assessment, you may be charged the maximum fee.

Accommodation Payment

Your accommodation costs will also be based on your Income and Assets Assessment. Depending on your assessment outcome, accommodation fees may be:

• Fully covered by the Australian Government
• Partially covered by the Government, with a contribution from you
• Fully paid by you

Our accommodation pricing is outlined as below.

You may choose to pay the accommodation fee as:

• A lump sum (Refundable Accommodation Deposit – RAD)
• A daily payment (Daily Accommodation Payment – DAP)
• A combination of both

If you do not complete the assessment, you will be asked to pay the full cost of accommodation.
