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.
