Fees

Cardinal Stepinac Village (CSV) residential aged care fees are charged as directed by federal government legislation. The Fees are set by the Department of Health.

The  payments of fees will depend on the individual’s assets and the level of care required.

All residents must pay basic daily fees.

Basic Daily Fees

Basic Daily Fees are paid by all residents regardless of their level of care and the amount is set by the Federal Government.

Fees are charged from the date the resident accepts the offer of placement.

Additional types of costs may include:

  • Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) – Previously known as Accommodation bond
  • Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) – Previously known as Accommodation charges
  • Income tested fees

All potential  residents are required to declare their assets to Centrelink or Department of Veterans Affairs on a (Request for Assets Assessment Form).

This is not compulsory, however where no assets are declared, maximum fees and charges set by the Department may apply.

We recommend you seek advice to better understand the fees and financial obligations associated with Aged Care.   Numerous organisations offer financial advice, such as the Aged Care Financial Services.

Refundable Accommodation Deposit – RAD (Bond)

The RAD is an interest free loan made to the aged care facility. It is charged to provide capital funding for the building and expanding of aged care facilities.

RAD’s are based on individual financial circumstances. Cardinal Stepinac Village RAD amounts are negotiable based on the resident’s assets.

If a resident can’t afford to pay a RAD, they will still be able to access accommodation at CSV.

The RAD is refunded to you when you leave the facility or to your estate once probate has been granted to the executor of your will.

All aged care facilities are required to follow strict reporting and the Federal Government guarantees the refund of the RAD.

The amount payable is set by the Department of Health and Ageing.
