What this is based on

An AI model wrote these sentences from facts in the government's service list. When the model wrote them, a program checked that each sentence used only those facts, with no prices and no opinions. Each time this page is shown, every number in them, and whether they say the operator publishes room prices, is checked again against this page, and a sentence that no longer matches is left out (1 left out here).

  • Sentence 1 uses: home name, suburb, council area, state
  • Sentence 2 uses: remoteness, places, operator, type of organisation (ABN register)

Room prices

Each room has one price. Pay it as a refundable lump sum, as a daily payment, or part of each: which to choose. From November 2025 the home keeps 2% a year of a lump sum for up to five years (RAD retention); old and new rules.

The operator's page is the final word. It may list rooms, prices or fees we could not read, and prices change. Check Regis' page

How these prices were read

An AI model read the operator's page and listed each room with its maximum lump sum and daily payment. A program then kept a figure only if the exact words it came from are on the page, under that room's name, and contain that figure. A second model rechecks a sample, and any disagreement keeps a list off this site until a person looks.

A daily payment the operator neither prints nor works out in its own price calculator is shown as not published; we never work one out ourselves. A list more than a year old is not shown.

Rooms are listed as the operator lists them. Two rooms with the same name and different prices stay as two rows.

An estimate, not a quote. Government fees are from the Schedule of fees and charges for residential care from 20 September 2026 (in force from 20 Sep 2026), health.gov.au. The room is the operator's own price, checked 9 Nov 2026. Means-tested fees are set by Services Australia after it assesses income and assets.

What it costs each month

Paying the whole room by daily payment, plus the basic daily fee. The top of each range adds the most the means test can charge. Pick a room to change the lump sum, add income and assets, and see what happens to the lump sum over five years.

Questions to ask on your visit

The 15 questions families ask most before choosing a home. We have filled in 4 from what we hold; the rest only the home can answer.

Daily life

  1. What does a typical day look like here? Can we see this month's activity calendar, and do most residents join in?

    Families most want to know how their parent will spend the day, and whether activities really happen. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  2. Can we see this week's menu and come for a meal? How are soft diets, diabetes and cultural or religious diets handled?

    Food is the most common daily complaint; a menu and a meal tell you more than a brochure. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  3. Do any carers on the floor speak her language?

    People with dementia often return to their first language. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

Care and staff

  1. How many carers and registered nurses are on each shift, day, night and weekend? Is a registered nurse on site at all times?

    Staffing numbers are not published home by home. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  2. How many staff are permanent, and how often are agency staff used? Will the same carers look after her?

    Families say continuity of carers matters more than the building. No public source has these figures. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

  3. Who is our main contact, and how quickly will you tell us after a fall, an illness or a change in her care?

    Agree this before she moves in. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  4. Do you care for people with advanced dementia, including changed behaviour? Is there a secure area, and can we see it?

    Some homes cannot keep a resident whose dementia advances. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

  5. Does a GP visit regularly? Can she keep her own GP, and who covers nights and weekends?

    Doctors' visits vary widely between homes. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care

Money

  1. What does the room we want cost, as a lump sum or a daily payment?

    What we found Room prices $500k to $790k on the operator's price list, or $116.58 to $184.12 a day. The operator's price list, 9 Nov 2026

  2. What will she pay each day in total, with the basic daily fee and the means-tested fees?

    What we found About $185.51 to $317.11 a day for the cheapest room, all paid by the day: our estimate, worked out below. Our estimate from the operator's price and the government's rates, 10 Nov 2026

  3. Do you charge a higher everyday living fee or for extras such as Wi-Fi, outings or hairdressing? What does it include, and can she say no?

    The higher everyday living fee is optional, can only be agreed after moving in, and can be cancelled. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

Moving in

  1. Is a room free now? How long is the wait, and can she stay on your list if she takes a place elsewhere first?

    No public list shows vacancies as they change. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask

Visiting

  1. What are the visiting hours? Can we come early or stay late, bring children or a pet, and what happens to visits during an outbreak?

    Visiting is how families keep in touch with daily care; rules changed sharply during COVID-19. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist

  2. How will we get there? Is there public transport nearby, and is visitor parking free?

    What we found Bus stop (University Way at Chancellor Park) 1 minutes' walk. About 159 minutes from Brisbane City Hall by public transport on a weekday morning, 155 on a Sunday. Translink, State of Queensland (Department of Transport and Main Roads) timetable (GTFS), 10 Nov 2026

  3. Can we see your latest Quality and Safety Commission report, and how do you handle complaints?

    What we found Search the Commission's reports. My Aged Care shows its star rating. Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission
