Description:
If you move into an aged care home for permanent care, you will pay fees under one of 2 arrangements:
- 1 July 2014 fee arrangements
- 1 November 2025 fee arrangements.
This fact sheet explains the 1 November 2025 fee arrangements. These may apply to you if you first enter permanent residential care on or after 1 November 2025.
However, if you were approved for or accessing a Home Care Package on 12 September 2024, you are protected by the ‘no worse off principle’ and will pay fees under the 1 July 2014 arrangements. If this applies to you, see the fact sheet on 1 July 2014 fee arrangements.
