About Fees
| Is there a fee for accreditation? |
|
There is no fee payable in respect of homes with nineteen (19) or less beds allocated. The Australian Department of Health and Ageing fully subsidises the accreditation fees for these homes. All other homes pay a fee on a sliding scale up to one hundred (100) beds. Accreditation application fees are adjusted on 1 July each year in line with the consumer price index (CPI). Payment can be by electronic funds transfer or by cheque. Whichever form of payment is chosen, the payment must be made per individual home and the home's RACS ID must be quoted as the reference. The RACS ID is the four digit Residential Aged Care Service Identification Number allocated to the home by the Department of Health and Ageing. The RACS ID should be the bank payment reference number used in forwarding payment to the Agency's account. The use of the RACS ID enables the Agency to match the electronic payment with each home. If paying by electronic funds transfer, the following Agency information is required. Bank: Commonwealth Bank of Australia Branch: Parramatta BSB Number: 062441 Bank Account Number: 10048559 Cheques should be made payable to The Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency Ltd with the RACS ID printed on the reverse of the cheque. The inclusion of the RACS ID enables the Agency to match the cheques with each home. The provider must pay for all allocated places whether occupied or not. |
| How is the fee calculated? |
|
The calculation of the correct fee is set out in Section 2.6 of the Accreditation Grant Principles, 1999 (as amended in 2004). The accreditation application fees are set out in the tables below. Commencing services are homes that have not yet commenced to provide residential aged care. For fees for accreditation applications on or after 1 July 2005 click here |
