Listen "Aged Care Changes 2025: Fees, Deposits & New Rules Explained"
Episode Synopsis
Aged care is about to become far more expensive, and most families have no idea what’s coming.
In this episode of the Investor Motivation Podcast, Rob and Ash unpack the major aged-care rule changes starting 1 November 2025. They explain what’s changing in home care and residential aged care, why costs are rising, what the new refundable accommodation deposit rules look like, and how the return of retention fees will affect families.
The conversation also covers the new means-tested charges, how pensions and cashflow planning fit into aged-care affordability, the increasing importance of the family home, and why people with $200k–$500k in assets may feel the squeeze the most. They discuss how families can work together, avoid misunderstandings and prepare financially for one of life’s most stressful transitions.
