Understanding Finances

Let us help you understand the fees and charges for Aged Care Homes. Put simply, the government subsidises the bulk of aged care in Australia but if you are able to afford the cost of care and accommodation, you will be asked to contribute to the cost.

Financial Guide

As everyone’s financial circumstances are different, you may be eligible to receive some assistance towards your Accommodation Cost. Some residents will have their accommodation paid in full or partially by the government. This is determined by the Department of Human Services through the income and assets assessment process.

Please note: The government frequently changes the level of income or assets thresholds based on support, so always refer to the MyAgedCare website and calculator for up-to-date information.
