Understanding Aged Care Fees

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when considering a place at S.Antonio:

Basic Daily Fee

This is set by the government and covers day-to-day living costs like meals, laundry, and cleaning. Everyone pays this fee.

Means-Tested Care Fee

If you can afford to contribute more toward your care, a means-tested fee may apply. This is based on your income and assets, assessed by Centrelink.

Accommodation Payment

You may need to pay for your room depending on your financial situation. This can be paid as a lump sum (RAD), daily payment (DAP), or a combination.

Optional Services

We also offer additional lifestyle and service options. These are clearly explained up front, so you’re never surprised by hidden costs.

At S.Antonio, we’re committed to transparency and support. Our team is happy to walk you through the numbers and help you make informed choices.
