Aged Care Providers

Aged Care Decisions charges an aged care provider if, and only if, a referral ends up as an admission. No placement, no fee. The Placement Services Fee of $2350 ex GST is the same for every aged care facility across Australia, and is the same regardless of financial status of the resident. The fee is equivalent to approx 8 days of average bed day revenue. (2019 Dept of Health ACFA Report). There is no joining fee, no registration fee, and no ongoing fees. The only fee payable is upon a placement occuring. No admission, no fee.

An operator can cancel at anytime by providing 5 days written notice. A provider can switch facilities on or off from receiving referrals at any time by logging into the Aged Care Decisions Provider Portal.

The Placement Services Fee is payable only upon a resident moving in and commencing permanent care. If the resident moves in for respite services, an interim Respite Services Fee is payable, but this amount is deducted from the full Placement Services Fee if they become a permanent resident.

Yes, in all instances. We are fully transparent about how and when Aged Care Decisions will charge an aged care provider. This detail is provided to clients and families in their first interaction with Aged Care Decisions, and at multiple points throughout the placement journey.

No. Transparency requires that the prices nominated above are industry wide. We do not recommend one facility over another. Rather, our role is to provide information and to match potential residents to facilities where a match exists on care need, preferences & budget.
