Check if Government financial support is available to you

You may be eligible for Government support to cover some, or all, of your care accommodation fees. To apply for this support, you need to complete the Request for a Combined Assets & Income Assessment on the Department of Human Services website.

Get an estimate of your fees online

If you do not have time to complete the Combined Assets & Income Assessment before moving into Restvale, the DHS has developed a useful online calculator on the My Aged Care website. It will give you a good indication of the fees you can expect once your assessment form has been processed.

Find out which fees you need to pay

There are three main fees associated with residential aged care:

Basic Daily Fee

This fee covers your day-to-day cost of living such as meals, cleaning, heating and laundry. It currently represents 85% of the full pension. Every resident of Restvale is asked to pay this fee.

Means Tested Care Fee

This fee contributes to your day-to day care costs. The Department of Human Services will determine if you are to pay this fee based on your Combined Assets & Income Assessment.

Accommodation Fee

This fee covers your accommodation (room). The Department of Human Services will determine whether we will ask you to pay this fee. Their Assessment will also outline your payment options. Please see link to our current ‘Accommodation Charge Table’ for further information.
