Hi Graham,
Thanks for your question. Based on your information we believe you would fall under the ‘partially supported resident’ status. There is a minimum amount you must have available and currently that amount is $47,500. You may not have to pay a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) but may have to make a more modest Daily Accommodation Contribution (DAC) instead (at an estimate between $15 - $20 a day). You would still have to pay the Basic Daily Care fee everyone does (currently $49.42). I don’t think its likely you would be asked to pay a Means Tested Care fee.
If you have more question about the Combined Income and Assets Assessment, you can call the Department of Human Services on 1800 227 475. Or you can call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
