Background
IHACPA will provide advice to inform Commonwealth Government decisions on the costing and pricing of aged care services from 1 July 2023.
Residential aged care
The Commonwealth Government has commenced funding reform of residential aged care, transitioning to IHACPA's system of activity based funding.
Home care
Home Care Packages (HCP) provide support to older people assessed as having more complex needs to help them stay at home.
RAD approvals
A refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) is the lump-sum payment for a room (or part of a room) in an aged care home. Each residential aged care provider sets their own price for different kinds of rooms.
Extra service fee approvals
Some residential aged care rooms have extra service status. This means that they can charge residents a regular extra service fee to provide residents with a bundle of higher standard hotel-type services.
