The Australian Government has announced changes for residential aged care funding to support providers to meet the cost of delivery care and hotelling services.
From 20 September 2025, the hotelling supplement will increase from $15.60 to $22.15 per resident per day for everyday living services, including catering, cleaning and laundry.
From 1 October 2025:
- the AN-ACC price will increase to $295.64, including funding for Fair Work Commission award wage increases
- AN-ACC fixed and variable funding categories adjustments to better align funding with costs
- care minutes for each AN-ACC class updates in line with variable funding
- 24/7 registered nurses supplement will be adjusted to reflect changes in costs
- the AN-ACC Transition Fund will be extended for a further 12 months to support the viability of providers operating in specific thin markets.
The AN-ACC and hotelling supplement changes were recommended by the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority.
