Fees and Payments Explained

In Australia, the Government pays for the majority of aged care services that are paid directly to the home.  However, your loved one will be asked to contribute towards nursing home costs for their care and accommodation if they can afford to.

 

There are various nursing home costs and fees that a resident may be asked to pay. Residents may be required to pay accommodation payments in the form of a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or a combination of both.
