Information about residential fees and charges
Fees and charges for residential care can be confusing, but we are here to help you understand them. Please call 0419 106 817 if you need help.
Why are there fees and charges?
The Australian Government controls fees and limits how much you can be asked to pay for aged care. The Government also subsidises aged care, but people are expected to contribute to the cost of their care if they can afford it.
What fees and charges are there at Monash Health homes?
There are 3 types of fees charged depending on which home you choose, the type of room you choose, and your income.
