Some residential aged care facilities may offer you a higher standard of accommodation, food and services for an additional daily fee. They may also charge an accommodation bond for these services.

Extra services are provided to extend the range of options available to you and offer you more flexibility and choice. Residential aged care homes are approved to offer extra services only if the Department of Health and Ageing is satisfied that access to aged care in the relevant area will not be unreasonably restricted for people who would have difficulty affording an extra service amount.

If you have any questions about residential aged care, please call the Aged Care Information Line from anywhere in Australia on 1800 500 853
