Costs vary by service type. Home Care Packages are government-subsidised, with a basic daily fee of up to 17.5% of the Age Pension. Residential aged care includes accommodation costs, daily fees, and means-tested care fees. Many pensioners pay little or no out-of-pocket costs. See our aged care fees calculator for estimates.
In some cases, yes. People aged 65+ with a disability may access both NDIS and aged care supports, though funding cannot cover the same service twice. If you are on the NDIS and approaching 65, talk to your planner about transition options. View NDIS services in Townsville.
