A basic daily fee: this covers living costs such as meals, power and laundry. For some people this is the only fee they are required to pay.
An accommodation payment or entry fee:this is for your accommodation in the aged care home. Some people will have their accommodation costs met in full or in part by the Australian Government, while others will need to pay the accommodation price agreed with the aged care home.
