Date: Tuesday, 12 August 2025
Time: 1pm - 2pm (AEST)
Presenters:
Bruce Bailey and George Suharev from Pride Aged Living
This webinar explores how the new Aged Care Act will lead to higher participant contributions and how providers can develop pricing and communication strategies that improve financial outcomes while meeting the affordability expectations of individuals.
We will unpack five key decision factors that influence prospective residents and demonstrate how clear, value-focused messaging can build confidence and acceptance.
The session will also cover practical pricing approaches that support provider financial health. This includes strategies for maintaining liquidity, increasing Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RADs) and retention amounts, and ensuring overall performance against the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) in a changing market.
Who should attend?
All residential providers, finance managers, care managers, client coordinators, administrative staff and everyone who interacts with families and older people regarding admissions.
The outcomes are:
- Understanding the difference between price and affordability
- How charges impact different groups, including pensioners and self-funded retirees
- Navigating the complexity of aged care costs from a recipient’s perspective
- Communicating value and affordability to build confidence and acceptance
- Practical pricing strategies that support provider financial sustainability
