Balwyn Trinity Manor fees and charges
Residents can be asked to pay the following fees (the eligibility fees are confirmed by the Department of Human Services):
- A standard resident contribution;

- An additional service fee.
Basic daily fee
The basic daily fee is 85% of the age pension amount and the fee is indexed every 6 months in line with the age pension.
All Elders are required to pay this fee, including full pensioners and part pensioners with low income, unless an Elder is approved for financial hardship.

Accommodation cost
Depending on your income and assets, you may be asked to pay a refundable accommodation contribution or a refundable accommodation deposit payment. This is for your aged care home accommodation only. This is in addition to the:
- Basic daily fee
- Means-tested care fee
- Fees for extra and additional services.
Your income and assets assessment will determine if you will receive assistance with your accommodation costs. Some people will have their accommodation costs paid in full or in part by the Australian Government. Others will need to pay the price agreed to with the aged care home.
Accommodation payments are refundable to the resident on departure. We may deduct any amounts owing to us. Those residents transferring to another aged care facility will have their accommodation payment refunded within 14 days from when notice is given. If a resident passes away, the balance of their accommodation payment will be refunded to the estate within 14 days after we receive a copy of the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
