AN-ACC
The AN-ACC price increased from $282.44 to $295.64 on 1 October 2025. The National Weighted Activity Unit (NWAU) values for the classes (variable funding) and Base Care Tariffs (fixed funding) were also adjusted on 1 October 2025 to better align funding with costs. These changes were recommended by IHACPA’s pricing advice.
See Schedule of Subsidies and Supplements for Aged Care for the AN-ACC rates.
The average funding is expected to increase from an estimated $306 PRPD to $316 PRPD.
