Do you run a residential aged care facility with RADs over $550,000?
If yes, then you probably know about the Office of the Aged Care Pricing Commissioner.
If not, here is a snapshot of what we do:
- review and approve refundable accommodation deposits (RADs) that are higher than $550,000
- review and approve applications for extra service fees
We are working on some exciting updates in 2019.
Our big news? We are developing an online application form.
An online form will create benefits for providers including:
- a streamlined process
- a secure repository for documents
- the ability to check application progress
We are doing this with the help of a working group representing both providers and consumers.
Interested in joining the working group? Contact the Office for details.
Other updates in 2019 will include:
- FAQs
- best practice examples
- a new application guide
- a website refresh
We will send out a short newsletter to providers later in the year to let you know how we are tracking!
In the meantime, please contact the Office if you have any questions:
- call 1300 550 970
