Accommodation Payments
From 1st July 2014, people coming into Aged Care have the option to pay for their accommodation in three ways:
- The first option is by way of a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD). This means the total RAD amount is paid in full.
- The second option is by way of a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP). This payment is calculated based on the outstanding RAD amount and is converted to a daily fee.
- The third option is a Combination of a RAD and a DAP, where a partial lump sum payment is provided and a daily fee is charged on the outstanding amount.
