Healthy Ageing Webinar Series

Webinar 2:

Understanding residential aged care fees and government funding.

Major changes to residential aged care fees and funding came into effect on 1 November 2025, and Mercy Health is here to help you understand what this means for you.

In this webinar, we explain:

  • the new Aged Care Act and how it affects fees and government funding
  • what the changes mean for you and your family
  • how Mercy Health can support you every step of the way.

We encourage you to watch this webinar to build a clearer understanding of residential aged care, whether you’re planning ahead or supporting a family member now or in the future.
