RESIDENTIAL CARE

Room Costs

If your income and assets are over a certain amount, you may be asked to make an accommodation payment that you agree with the home. Otherwise the Australian Government will pay for part or all of your accommodation costs. The Department of Human Services will advise you if you are required to make an accommodation payment.
