Pricing Framework for Australian Residential Aged Care Services 2025–26
Date published: 28 May 2025
The Pricing Framework for Australian Residential Aged Care Services is the key policy document for IHACPA relating to the development of pricing advice for residential aged care and residential respite care. The pricing framework outlines the key considerations and methods used by IHACPA to develop the residential aged care pricing and costing advice for the Australian Government.
The Pricing Framework for Australian Residential Aged Care Services 2025–26 Consultation Report summarises the feedback received during the public consultation from 14 August to 20 September 2024, where we received 46 submissions from older Australians, carers and families, residential aged care providers, peak bodies, government departments and agencies, and researchers.
The pricing framework and consultation report are published annually and are refined based on public consultation with stakeholders.
The pricing framework and consultation report 2025–26 will guide the development of the Residential Aged Care Pricing Advice 2025–26.
