Getting to know residential care costs.
Here's a breakdown of the costs. Please check with your preferred HammondCare home, as costs vary by location.
Care costs
Your care costs will depend on your needs and situation.
- Basic daily fee This goes toward care needs and living expenses. Everyone in residential care pays this fee and the amount is set by the Government as a proportion of the pension.
- Means tested care fee Residents whose income and assets exceed thresholds set by the Government will be asked to pay a means-tested care fee.
There are other additional and supplementary services that can be provided at an extra cost. We’ll discuss them with you, according to your care needs.
Accommodation costs
Set prices for each location’s room type can be found using our location finder. Accommodation payments can be structured as you prefer, either as:
- a one-off lump sum (known as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit or RAD)
- a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) or
- a part lump sum, part daily payment.
If payment is partially by lump sum, then the remaining daily payment can be withdrawn from the lump sum amount (if requested). For more information about accommodation costs, see our Residential Aged Care Guide.
A Centrelink income and asset test will determine if you’ll receive a Government contribution toward the accommodation cost. If a resident is confirmed to be of low means, the RAD price won’t apply. This means the Government will pay HammondCare a daily rate toward the accommodation costs.
Personalised Services
To allow residents to choose a unique sense of belonging and comfort, our care homes offer a number of tailored services and features. Personalised services can be provided on top of your standard high-quality care and services.
Speak to our Admissions Team to learn more about Personalised Services and the costs involved. You can ring us on 1800 776 112.

The decision for Mum to move into residential care was such a big emotional time. Hammond Care made Mum feel so welcome from the first moment we stepped inside - The staff are so amazing, caring and helpful. Mum truly feels at home.
The food is 10 stars, always made fresh. If you or a loved one need a wonderful place to live to be cared for in a Dementia specific setting, choose Hammond Care.

A great facility that cares for its residents and puts them at the heart of everything they do. Staff, and volunteers, are committed to every resident and their needs.
The facilities are clean and well maintained. When families are having to be put loved ones into care its an extremely daunting though, Hammondcare make it easy. They really care and that's what families want.

Carmon's Story
At HammondCare we prioritise understanding the unique needs and stories of our clients to enrich their lives. One such client, Carmon, was initially reserved when it came to sharing her interests. When introduced to Angela from the Brisbane team, she preferred to continue to enjoy her own activities independently.
Angela introduced Carmon to a sticker version of colouring books, leading to a memorable bonding session filled with smiles and laughter. This experience not only strengthened their relationship but also made Carmon more receptive to Angela's visits, allowing her husband Joe to feel at ease with stepping out.
The story exemplifies our commitment to fostering genuine connections and enhancing the wellbeing of those in our care.
