Residential Aged Care Fees

The fees and charges are determined by the Department of Health and Aged Care based on your ability to pay and individual circumstances at time of admission. Your admission options at Carinya of Bicton can vary greatly based on your individual circumstances.

We recommend speaking to your Financial Adviser as we can only provide basic information. You will find further information about the aged care fees and charges on the Government’s My Aged Care website.

All residents in aged care, including people seeking respite care are required to pay a basic daily fee as a contribution towards living expenses. The daily fee for all residents equates to 85% of the basic single age pension.
Upon leaving the residence, the refundable deposit will be refunded in full, as long as it was not agreed for any amounts to be deducted from the refundable deposit – in which case it would be the balance that would be refunded. Amounts that can be deducted against the refundable deposit are the care co-contribution, the DAP, and additional benefits.
This is a lump sum payment for accommodation in an aged care home and is fully refundable when you leave the residence. This is the price of a room, in lump sum form, that residents have agreed to pay with the provider. Residents can pay the RAD in full or they can pay via a combination of RAD and a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP). Carinya of Bicton's RAD in full is: $750,000.
Where the resident requests or agrees to additional services being provided (such as newspapers, alcoholic drinks, additional outings etc.), these can be charged to their monthly account.
The DAP is calculated as a daily cost that is charged fortnightly or monthly if the RAD has not been paid in full. For example, if the RAD on a room is $750,000 and not paid, then the resident will pay $167.88 as a DAP (based on the 8.17% interest rate – which is subject to change by the Government).
The Government provides care subsidies to ensure all residents receive the same standard of care in the residence.
The resident can elect to pay a combination of RAD and DAP. For example, on a room with a RAD of $750,000, the resident can pay $400,000 upfront and the remaining $350,000 as a DAP. In this scenario, the DAP would be $78.34 per day (this is based on the 8.17% interest rate – which is subject to change by the Government).
A Resident Agreement protects both parties by formalising arrangements upon admission. As the Government determines fees after admission, the Resident Agreement refers to the maximum amount that could be charged for the various fees and charges.
Residents (other than respite residents) may be asked to pay a care co-contribution fee depending on their income and their assets. The Government sets the amount a resident must pay direct to the aged care provider and reduces the care subsidies paid to the provider by the same amount.
Regular Statements Statements are issued early in each month and relate to the full month.Direct Debit Transfer Direct Debit is the preferred method of payment given it is processed fortnightly or monthly from the account into which any pension is paid.Other Payment Methods We accept Bank Transfer and Cheque payments. We are not able to provide Credit Card or BPAY payment facilities.
