The new Aged Care Act is being rewritten with a Human Rights focus, reflecting the need for a fundamental overhaul of our Aged Care system. The revised Aged Care Act will place a greater emphasis on the rights and dignity of older people, and will require aged care providers to take a more person-centered, human rights approach to care.

Thanks again for your help in securing the room. We could see the relief in Mum’s face when she arrived at her room. Once she was dressed in street wear, not hospital wear, she seemed more confident and hopefully in time most if not all of the confidence she had before she entered hospital will return.
Thank you once again for everything. I am sleeping much better now, not having to worry about my Father's financial situation (at the aged care home) as much. What you have done is give me peace of mind that he can afford the extra odd bill . I will be very happy to recommend your services.
Thank you for the amazing job you've done for us. We cannot express enough what your assistance meant to us. You were a special blessing sent from heaven. I know we could never have managed without you. Our thanks and love to you both.
More Testimonials ...The Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) increased to 8.42% effective from January 1st 2025.
As facilities proceed to increase RAD’s, the lesser profitability of a concessional resident will result in a clear preference for RAD paying residents.
The effective Refundable Accommodation Contribution (RAC) on a refurbished aged care home, above the 40% concessional ratio, will be $302,671 from 1st January 2025, which will put pressure on those looking to find a concessional placement given average RAD’s are now much higher than this amount.
