Changes on the 1st November 2025

The new Aged Care Act will come into effect on 1 November 2025, and one of its main goals is to make sure that people who have the financial means contribute a little more towards the cost of their care.

We know that changes like this can sometimes feel confusing or worrying, so here’s a simple summary of what’s new and how it might affect you or your loved one:

• Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD): Aged care homes will now be able to deduct 2% per year (calculated monthly) from any RAD that’s been paid, for up to five years. So for example, if the aged care home sets the RAD to $750,000; the aged care home will pocket $15,000 each year from the lump sum RAD. The aged care home will be able to deduct up to $75,000 from the RAD, if the resident stays for more than 5 years.
• Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP): The DAP will still be worked out using the MPIR (the interest rate when you enter care), but from now on, that rate will be reviewed twice a year.
• Non-clinical care fee: A new means-tested fee will help cover the cost of everyday personal care — things like showering, dressing, meal assistance, and mobility support.
• Hotel supplement: This payment, which currently helps aged care homes cover services like catering, cleaning, and laundry, will also become means-tested, with residents contributing according to their financial situation.
• If your loved one was already living as a permanent resident in aged care before 1 November 2025, they’ll be grandfathered under the current rules — meaning these new costs won’t apply to them.

If you’re thinking about arranging care and would like to avoid the new financial changes, it might be sensible considering placement before 1 November 2025 to avoid the new increased fees.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to discuss your options or get a better understanding of what these changes mean for your family.

We are always happy to help and can make the process feel a lot less stressful.
