Bernard Chan Nursing Home Fees and Charges

Understanding Your Residential Aged Care Costs

Moving into your aged care home is a big decision, and it’s important to understand the costs associated with your care. Residential aged care fees are regulated by the Australian Government and may be subsidised based on your income and assets. 
  • Covers your daily living costs (e.g. meals, power, laundry, personal care).
 
  • Paid by all aged care home residents.
 
  • Everyone can be asked to pay this fee.
 
  • Fee is calculated at 85% of the single person Age Pension. The Basic Daily Care Fee is set by the Government and equates to 85% of the single pension, 96.5% of the single pension for non-pensioners. 
 
  • Adjusted each March and September in line with changes to the Age Pension, which means amounts vary from time to time as the level of the pension increases.
The co-contribution is an amount which is assessed by Centrelink or the Department of Veterans Affairs (if the person is a veteran). It is the amount the government agency determines the resident can pay towards the cost of their care. These amounts are subject to yearly and lifetime caps which are set at the time of the resident’s entry to residential care and which are indexed in accordance with the CPI.
