Daily Care Fee & RAD Interest Rate Updates

From 1 April 2025, the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) is 8.17%

Since the RAD price approval threshold increased to $750,000 in January 2025, Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RADs) have risen significantly across most aged care homes. For residents, any reduction in the MPIR is a positive change, as it lowers the cost of paying via Daily Accommodation Payments (DAPs).

Key Changes from 20 March 2025:

  • Basic Daily Care Fee: $63.82 per day
  • "Fully Supported" Asset Threshold: $61,500
  • "Non-Supported" Asset Threshold: $206,663
  • Maximum Accommodation Contribution: Refurbished facilities: $69.79 pd Non-refurbished facilities: $45.51 pd

Impact on Aged Care Placements

Aged care facilities continue to prefer residents who pay a RAD upfront rather than those on concessional arrangements. Since lower-tier RADs have increased, the provider-centric income gap between full-paying and concessional residents has widened.

For facilities with more than 40% concessional residents, the effective Refundable Accommodation Contribution (RAC) is now $311,791. However, with the average RAD now sitting well above this amount, it remains challenging for concessional residents to secure placements.

This trend will most likely continue, increasing pressure on those seeking supported placements in aged care homes.
