About Our Community
Situated in the peaceful country town of Parkes, Niola Centre is built around quiet, relaxing courtyards, with rooms filled with natural light. Assisted by a team of top chefs who prepare fresh meals every day, Niola Centre’s residents enjoy a wholesome quality of life with lasting independence through a flexible range of care options. Our skilled staff members never underestimate the power of individual care – it’s what we’re here for.

You’re invited to enjoy the convenience of an on-site hairdresser, visiting podiatrist, physiotherapist, library, laundry service, massage therapy, regular outings, church services and many other benefits. Or you may prefer to relax and take in the beauty and peace of the local grounds. Whatever you choose, Niola Centre is your special place to enjoy.

Financials Explained
All non-supported residents who have assets above the current partially supported cut off level will be required to pay either a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or a lump sum Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or combination of lump sum refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) and the balance of the RAD as an equivalent Daily Payment (DAP). The pricing listed below is the maximum pricing for the category of the room and may vary depending on your individual circumstances.
To calculate the equivalent daily payment, the refundable accommodation deposit is multiplied by the current maximum permissible interest rate (MPIR)* and divided by 365 days.
For example, a refundable deposit of $550,000 would have an equivalent daily payment of:
i.e. ($550,000 x 5.96%) / 365 = $89.80 per day
Optional Services Provided at an Additional Cost
Optional Services of your choice are available via our You Choose Optional extras Program. Please enquire for more information.
