Accommodation payment

Some people will have their accommodation costs met in full or in part by the Australian Government, while others will need to pay the accommodation price agreed with the aged care home.

Note: As of 1 July 2014 the Australian Government changed the way older Australians entering aged care pay for their accommodation costs. All residents who can afford to have the choice of paying for their accommodation through a Daily Accommodation Payment or Contribution or a Refundable Accommodation Deposit or Contribution, or a combination of both. To find out more about these changes please visit www.myagedcare.gov.au

Fees for extra or additional optional services: additional fees may apply if you choose a higher standard of accommodation or additional services.
