✨What is a hotelling contribution in aged care?

It is the daily fee that helps cover the everyday living costs in a residential aged care home - things like meals, cleaning, laundry, electricity and other shared services.

The Australian Government sets the maximum that aged care homes can charge.

Your contribution is determined by your specific income and assets, with a maximum daily cap of $12.55 per day.

📢 Aged Care Update – MPIR Change

From 1 October 2025, the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) for residential aged care will decrease to 7.61%.

💡 What does this mean?
The MPIR is the government-set interest rate that aged care facilities use to work out the Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP). The DAP is the regular, non-refundable payment for a room when it isn’t paid upfront as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD).

This change may affect how much you or your loved ones pay if you choose the DAP option for accommodation.

If you’d like to understand what this means for your situation, feel free to reach out for more information or advice 💕

"Do not work in a nursing home if you aren’t going to be nice to the residents. It’s not a workplace; it’s their home!"

Some workplaces are more than just a place to earn a living; they are sacred spaces in people's lives. For those who choose to work in a nursing home, this isn't just a job—it's a profound responsibility to a vulnerable community.

The residents aren't just patients or tasks on a to-do list; they are individuals in the final chapters of their lives, and this is their home. It is where their memories, their quiet moments, and their final days unfold.

To enter that space with anything less than genuine kindness and respect is to violate a trust. The work is not about efficient task completion, but about the quality of human connection. It's about a warm smile, a gentle hand, and a listening ear.

A caregiver’s role is to bring light and dignity into the lives of others, and in doing so, they not only enrich the residents' lives but also find a deeper sense of purpose in their own.
