Amber Aged Care – Current Fees

Room type
Single Room + Private Ensuite

Maximum occupancy
1

Maximum price for room
RAD of $750,000.

Explanation of payment options
Residents can choose to pay for their accommodation by a refundable deposit, a daily payment, or a combination of both. A refundable deposit is
paid as a lump sum amount. A daily payment accrues daily and is paid periodically, for example monthly. A combination payment includes both a
partial lump sum and daily payments.

Example of a combination payment for room
For this room, the resident may pay 50% of the agreed room price by way of a refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) of $375,000.00, and then the remaining 50% by way of daily payments of $78.18

Things to note

  • The calculation is based on the latest Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) and the agreed room price. MPIR varies each quarter.
  • The amount is an example only – your contract will reflect the exact agreed room price and your selected payment method.
  • From 1 November 2025, a 2% per annum retention may apply to the RAD. The amount to be deducted will be calculated daily at a rate of 2% per annum and it will be limited to 5 years to protect residents who remain in care for a long time.
  • The daily accommodation payment (DAP) will be subject to annual indexation.

Additional service charge

Effective 1 November 2025, the Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF) will be introduced across Amber Aged Care. The HELF program consolidates a suite of enhanced and supplementary living services designed to elevate the resident experience. Residents may select a full package tailored to their preferences or purchase individual service items as required.

Amber Aged Care has developed five service packages, each covering a different aspect of daily living:

  • Premium Care Package
  • Accommodation Package
  • Digital Services Package
  • Premium Meal Package
  • Lifestyle Package

Each package is individually priced and can be purchased on its own. For residents who choose to subscribe to all packages, the total discounted rate will be $23 per day, compared to the full package value of $32 per day. Residents assessed as fully government-supported by the Department of Human Services or DVA will be charged a capped rate of $8 per day.
