Response to the Aged Care Taskforce – Accommodation reform

This document provides information about changes to residential aged care accommodation funding to support viability of the sector and long-term phasing out of Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RADs).

This document reflects the Government’s official response on 12 September 2024. Some details may have changed since that time as the result of consultation and the deferral of the new Aged Care Act now commencing on 1 November 2025. As a result, the RAD retention and DAP indexation arrangements included in these documents will apply to residents who enter care from 1 November 2025.
