Understanding the costs associated with aged care can be challenging for many families. While the Australian Government subsidises a large part of the aged care system, individuals may still need to contribute towards the cost of their care depending on their income, assets and the type of care they receive.
If you or a loved one may need aged care in the future, having a basic understanding of how these costs work can help you make more informed decisions.
