Quarterly Review
Services Australia’s quarterly review of residential care fees will take place on 15 October 2022. This process enables care recipients’ fees to be set to align with any changes in their financial circumstances and/or their cost of care.
Care recipients and providers will receive letters letting them know if there is a change to fees or if a refund may be due.
The quarterly review of home care fees took place on 24-25 September 2022.
Further information for Residential Care and Home Care is available on the Services Australia website.

Providers should ensure they understand the AN-ACC care funding model and its impact on their future funding. This can be done by accessing the resources available on the residential aged care funding reform webpages.
