Payment options for accommodation cost

For flexibility, there are four ways you can pay for your accommodation.

Option 1 - Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) Instead of paying for your accommodation as a lump sum, you can choose to pay a daily fee. The amount you pay is calculated based on the MPIR (maximum permissible interest rate, set by the Australian Government) current on the day you move into permanent care.

Option 2 - Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) This option is a lump sum accommodation payment. The full amount of the deposit is refunded when you leave the aged care home less any amounts you have agreed to deduct.

Option 3 - Combination Payment Part refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) and part daily accommodation payment (DAP), with the part RAD being refunded when you leave the aged care home.

Option 4 - Drawdown Payment This option is like the combination payment, but the daily accommodation payment component is deducted from your refundable accommodation deposit. The balance of the deposit is refunded when you leave the aged care home.
