Financial information for Residential Aged Care

Entry charges (applicable to the nursing home) or accommodation bonds (applicable to the hostel) depend on the value of certain assets. Daily fees depend on your level of income. As of the 1st July 2005, Centrelink will determine all entry charges/accommodation bonds and daily fees.

Our Finance Manager can provide advice on how the system works in relation to the determination of charges and fees. For a personal, in confidence discussion about your financial requirements, please call the Finance Manager on (03) 5775 8800 during business hours

You can also download a copy of the booklet "5 STEPS TO ENTRY INTO RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE" which will help you understand what residential aged care is, why you might need it and how to go about arranging it.
