Aged Care Fees Explained

At Arcare, we understand that aged care fees can seem complex, and we are here to make the process clear and simple.

From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government introduced a new fee structure for aged care. These changes are now in place and aim to make the system fairer and easier to understand.

Our Client Service Managers are available to explain how the current fees work and what they mean for you and your family. Whether you are joining the Arcare community or already a resident, we will help you understand your options and guide you through every step of the process.
