Questions families ask
Which of these homes in Wollongong has the lowest room price?
Uniting Farmborough Unanderra: its rooms start at $520k 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?
