Some people will have their accommodation costs met in full or part by the Australian Government, while many others will need to pay the accommodation price agreed with Emmy Monash Aged Care. Centrelink will advise which status applies to you based on an individual assessment of your income and assets.

fees and charges

The below information may help you to gain a better understanding of the fees and charges applicable in aged care.

REFUNDABLE ACCOMMODATION DEPOSIT (RAD)

The RAD is a one-off lump sum payment made to the aged care provider that reflects the actual location and size of the residential room.

BASIC DAILY FEE

This is a general fee payable by all residents (Respite and Permanent) and is a government requirement. This fee is set at 85% of the single person rate of the full Australian Aged Care Pension. The Basic Daily Fee is reviewed on a six-monthly basis in line with pension increases. The Basic Daily Fee is currently $65.55 per person, per day.​

HIGHER EVERYDAY LIVING FEE

The Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF) delivers premium services and exceptional benefits that enrich residents’ lives, providing greater choice and control over every experience. The HELF package offers outstanding value for money, with services available as a package, individually, or on request.

MEANS Assessed FEES

Services Australia test all applicants who enter a residential care facility as a Permanent resident. The Means Assessed Fees comprise:

NON-CLINICAL CARE CONTRIBUTION (NCCC)

People who can afford to will contribute more towards their daily living costs through a hotelling contribution. Services Australia will tell you if you need to pay a hotelling contribution and if so, how much you need to pay. This is based on your means assessment. The maximum amount changes with indexation in March and September.

NON-CLINICAL CARE CONTRIBUTION (NCCC)

People who need to pay the maximum hotelling contribution may also need to pay a non-clinical care contribution. This fee contributes to personal care costs such as bathing and mobility assistance. Services Australia will tell you if you need to pay a non-clinical care contribution and if so, how much you need to pay. This is based on your means assessment. The maximum amount changes with indexation in March and September. Daily and lifetime caps apply.
