If you are approved for respite care in an aged care home by an ACAT, the Australian Government will subsidise your costs and pay the Aged Care Home directly. You will also be expected to contribute to the cost of your care. Respite fees are not the same as those for permanent residents in an aged care home. Your aged care provider cannot ask you to pay a means-tested care fee or an accommodation payment. Your provider may ask you to pay up to four types of fees. These must be recorded in your Resident Agreement. Draft Resident Agreement is attached
Aged care home will be in contact with you to finalise your agreement after the booking is accepted by them through myRespiteAccom platform and prior to your check-in day
