Understanding Aged Care Fees
You may be eligible for Government support to cover some, or all, of your care and accommodation fees. To apply for this support, you need to complete the Request for a Combined Assets and Income Assessment on the Services Australia Website.
It can take 3-6 weeks for Services Australia to assess your eligibility, it’s a good idea to complete the Form before entering aged care. If you choose not to complete the Form, It’s likely you will have to cover all the fees yourself whilst an outcome letter is received.
Estimation of Costs
Services Australia has developed a useful online calculator on their My Aged Care website. It will give you a good indication of the fees you can expect once your Assessment Form has been processed.
Fee Structure
There are three main fees associated with residential aged care:
Basic daily fee: This fee covers your day-to-day living costs such as meals, cleaning, laundry, heating and cleaning. It is currently 85% of the pension. Every resident can be asked to pay this fee.
Means-tested care fee: This fee contributes to your day-to-day care costs. Services Australia will determine whether we will ask you to pay this fee, and is dependent on the outcome of your income and assets assessment.
Accommodation fee: This fee covers your accommodation – the room that you’ll live in at Genista Aged Care. 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. Services Australia will determine whether we will ask you to pay this fee.
Payment can be made via a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or a combination of both.
