Select your program and classification.

Your classification and budget are on your Notice of Decision letter from My Aged Care. For an official personalised estimate, use the My Aged Care fee estimator.

What's your pension / income status?

This sets your contribution to Independence and Everyday Living services. Clinical care is always $0, whatever your income.

Enter your exact rates from your Services Australia letter:

Rates are set individually by Services Australia from your income and assets assessment. Estimates show $0 until you enter them.

✦ You pay $0 for all clinical services (nursing, allied health) — fully government-funded regardless of income. And from 1 October 2026, personal care is fully funded too.
