Understanding fees for aged care homes – 1 July 2014 fee arrangements

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 July 2014 fee arrangements. These may apply to you if:

• you first enter permanent residential care before 1 November 2025
• you first enter permanent residential care on or after 1 November 2025 but were approved for or accessing a Home Care Package on 12 September 2024.

If these conditions don’t apply to you, see the fact sheet on 1 November 2025 fee arrangements.
