Questions families ask
Which Opal HealthCare home in Melbourne has the lowest room price?
Northcote Mews Care Community: its rooms start at $425k as a refundable lump sum (RAD). Room prices are each operator's published maximum; a home may agree a lower price.
Do I have to pay the room price as a lump sum?
No. Each room has one price, paid as a refundable lump sum (RAD), as a daily payment (DAP), or part of each. From November 2025 a home keeps 2% a year of a lump sum for up to five years.
Is the room price all I pay?
No. The basic daily fee and any means-tested fees are on top. The monthly row in the table adds them for the cheapest room at each home.
How up to date are these prices?
We read each operator's own price page and checked these between 7 Nov 2026 and 7 Nov 2026. They are re-read every week; the operator's page is the final word.
