What does Residential Respite cost?
Residential Respite in Aged Care Facilities is subsidised by the Australian Government. In addition to this, people accessing Residential Respite will be charged a basic daily care fee, currently $29.25 [around 85% of the pension] in a non-extra service facility. There are a small number of extra service facilities in Northern Sydney. Fees in these facilities vary widely according to what they provide and are best obtained by contacting the facility directly.
