Calvary Health Care

The basic daily fee is applicable to anyone living or staying in a residential aged care home and covers day-to-day living costs such as cleaning, meals, laundry and heating.

This fee is currently set at 85% of your basic Aged Pension and the Australian Government Department of Health and your aged care provider will determine any additional costs for depending on your care package.

This fee contributes to your day-to-day care costs.

Not everyone is required to pay this cost. The Australian Government Department of Health will assess your income and assets to work out your means-tested care fee.

This fee covers your accommodation – the room that you’ll live in at your new Calvary home. The Department of Human Services will determine whether we will ask you to pay this fee. Their assessment will also outline your payment options.
