The Costs of Residential Aged Care

By Samantha L on Thursday, February 24, 2011

In Australia there is a minimum cost of aged care set by the Government, which can be covered with the rate of the pension (plus rent assistance). If you are financially disadvantaged then there is financial assistance available. You can find out what you are entitled to by contacting the Aged Care Information Line on 1800 500 853 or by calling Centrelink on 13 23 00.
