HAAA - Aged Care Placements

17/04/2026

How aged care is funded in Australia has undergone a major shift since 1 November 2025. The new system is designed to be fairer, with the Government fully funding clinical care while individuals contribute more toward "everyday living" costs based on their means. How will it affect your wallet? 💰⚖️

Key changes you might notice:
✅Support at Home: Replaces Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme with a more flexible, 8-tier system.
✅New Fee Structures: Introduction of the "Hotelling Contribution" and "Non-Clinical Care Contribution."
✅The "No Worse Off" Principle: If you were already receiving care before Nov 1, protections are in place to ensure your costs don't spike.

📝Confused by the new math? HAAA specialises in complex financial cases. We negotiate RADs, liaise with Centrelink, and help you decide the best strategy for the family home under these new rules.

How do you know if an aged care home is the one? 🏡✨

It’s easy to be impressed by a fancy lobby or a nice garden, but the real quality of life happens behind the scenes. When you’re touring a facility, keep these "Hidden Details" in mind📝:

💡The Vibe at Mealtimes: Visit during lunch or dinner. Is it a social, happy environment? Is the food nutritious and appealing?

💡Staff Interaction: Watch how the staff interact with residents in the hallways. Do they use their names? Is there a sense of warmth or a sense of rush?

💡Odour & Cleanliness: This is a big one. A well-run home should smell fresh, indicating high standards of hygiene and clinical care.

💡Activity Boards: Look at the calendar of events. Are the activities varied and designed for different levels of mobility and cognitive ability?

🎯Always trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. If you need help finding the perfect fit or narrowing down your shortlist, our team is here to help: 1300 784 781 💙

A glowing review from one of our clients, thank you so much! If you engage HAAA, just know we are with you every step of the way! 🤝

About 2 and half years ago we were in the situation of having to place Mum into aged care and their were many considerations that had to be made. We made the choice to use HAAA to help us find an aged care home. We were so glad that we did as their knowledge and expertise helped us to refine our choices , we then visited homes asked questions which allowed us to make a selection. Amber was very helpful through out this experience and helped us negotiate on the additional special service fee and Centrelink paperwork.

About 6 months ago our Aunty moved into a Age care home and we decided to move Mum so they would be together. Again I contacted Amber who again helped (no extra charge) with the organisation and we were placed on a waiting list that has now been fulfilled.

I would highly recommend HAAA to anybody who is looking to reduce the stress There is a cost to use their knowledge and expertise but in our situation that cost has been reduced significantly with their negotiating skills on fees.
I cannot thank them enough.

We highly recommended HAAA
