Is aged care financial advice worth the cost? Learn how specialist advice may reduce fees, protect pension entitlements and help families make the right choices when it comes to planning aged care.
Moving into an aged care home doesn’t impact your partner’s Support at Home funding, as care is assessed individually. Centrelink will classify you as an “illness separated couple”, entitling both to the higher single Age Pension rate while keeping the family home protected.
Each 1 July, the government indexes a range of Centrelink thresholds to keep pace with the cost of living. This round focuses on income limits and thresholds, and affects Aged Pension and Aged care costs.
With the Support at Home Program now starting on 1 Nov 2025 and new out-of-pocket fees coming, now’s the perfect time to sign up with a provider and save on fees until 1 Nov or review your current one to ensure you’re getting the best support. Get your free list of providers and compare now.
