Residential care fees are changing on 1 July 2025

Published: 2 May 2025

These changes are part of new rules that aim to simplify aged care and ensure fees better reflect your personal situation.

The fees estimates in the pre-entry letter we send you may only apply and be valid if any of the following apply:

  • you move into residential care before 1 July 2025
  • you’ve been approved for home care on or before 12 September 2024
  • you’re currently receiving a Home Care package.

You can find more information about aged care home costs and fees on the My Aged Care website.
