From 1 July 2014, a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) applies to all residential aged care facilities (as legislated in the Commonwealth’s Living Longer Living Better program). Depending on room type, the maximum RAD at Imlay House ranges from $330,000 to $375,000.
Residents have several payment options to choose from:
- refundable deposit (lump sum)
- daily payment (or DAP, accruing daily and paid monthly)*
- combination of both (partial lump sum and DAP)
*The DAP is calculated on the basis of the interest rate determined by the Commonwealth, which is reviewed quarterly. The current interest rate is 8.38% pa.
| Room type | Daily payment (DAP) | Maximum RAD |
| Shared room w/ shared ensuite | $75.76 | $330,000 |
| Single room w/ shared ensuite | $78.06 | $340,000 |
| Single room w/ ensuite | $80.36 | $350,000 |
| Single room w/ ensuite | $86.10 | $375,000 |
In addition to the accommodation payment, each resident pays Daily Care Fees (DCF) that are regulated by the Commonwealth Department of Social Services.
The basic DCF is 85% of the single rate the basic age pension’s single rate, indexed twice yearly in March and September. If applicable, a means-tested DCF is also payable. Means tests are carried out by Centrelink.
Prospective residents and their families are strongly encouraged to seek independent financial advice. Imlay House staff cannot provide financial advice.
