Funding examples
Residents may choose to pay for their aged care accommodation using a number of methods. The three payment options are:
- A Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), these deposits are the prices listed for each room type.
- A percentage of the total Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) and a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), or
- A Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP).
If paying the full refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) there are no daily accommodation Payments (DAP).
An example of the mixed percentage payment of the RAD and a DAP would be:
If you choose a Strand suite with a price (RAD) of $495, 000, you may decide to pay half the price (RAD) of $247, 500 in one lump sum and make the other 50% up with a DAP.
The DAP is calculated by using the maximum permissible interest rate per annum (MPIR) set by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
An example of paying only a daily accommodation payment would be:
If you choose a Strand suite with a price (RAD) of $495, 000, you may want to pay no upfront refundable accommodation payment (RAD) and simply pay the daily accommodation payment (DAP). This payment will therefore be calculated on the full $495, 000.
