Expiring refundable accommodation deposit approvals
Refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) approvals expire 4 years from the date of approval. If your approval is due to expire and you wish to continue charging RADs above the maximum amount, you will need to submit a new application form.
Please note that there is a 60-day period for IHACPA to assess an application, which may be paused for the period a request for information is being sought.
When an approval expires, you can no longer publish or charge new residents the previously approved amount. You will only be able to charge up to the maximum amount prescribed by the Aged Care Rules 2025.
Charging without approval
You must notify the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission if your approval has expired, and you have charged a RAD above the maximum amount.
The Commission will work with you on this matter.
