| Answer: |
A transition care provider may charge you a fee as a contribution to the cost of your care. The maximum fee is 84% of the basic daily rate of single pension for care delivered in the live-in setting (more information) or 17.5% of the basic single rate of pension for care delivered at home. Access to transition care is decided on a needs basis, not on your ability to pay fees. In determining your ability to pay fees, your transition care provider takes into account your other unavoidable expenses such as high pharmaceutical bill or fees that you still need to pay to your aged care home.
