Understanding your fees
Our fees are carefully structured to provide the best level of care along with all the services and support that you need to live your best life.
Here’s what’s included.
The basic daily fee
Our basic daily fee is a contribution that covers your daily living expenses. It covers living costs such as chef-prepared meals, electricity, utilities, cleaning, laundry, and more.
This fee is set by the Government and is 85% of the full pension.
The means-tested care fee
At Amaroo, we also charge a care fee that goes towards the cost of your personal and clinical care.
Not everyone is required to pay this fee—it’s based on your income level and assets. The exact amount is determined by the Centrelink Income and Assets Assessment. It’s assessed quarterly and can change depending on your circumstances.
There are annual and lifetime caps that apply to this care fee, which means that once you reach a certain threshold, you can’t be asked to pay anything more. This threshold is set by the Government and is reviewed regularly.
