More about RAD, DAP & MPIR

There remains potential for more increases to the MPIR, with the next few RBA cash rate decisions expected to influence the direction of the MPIR in that direction.

Adding to the financial impact, all permanent residents who entered residential care on or after 1 November 2025 have their MPIR indexed twice each year in line with movements in the CPI, potentially increasing accommodation payment obligations over time.

RAD Retention Amount

The Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) now has a retention of 2% of the paid RAD (up to a maximum 10% across 5 years) from the date of the first payment. It’s interesting here that it is based on what RAD you have paid. We are expecting that some clients may pay a small/nominal RAD/RAC at entry in order to “kick-start” the 5 year clock. This will limit the total retention fee exposure over a client’s lifetime in care. Smart move.

MPIR Indexed to CPI

The MPIR which is applied to the unpaid RAD will now be indexed to CPI twice a year (similar to how the Basic Daily Fee moves in line with the age pension). This is going to be hard for the novice to monitor as there will now be an indexation factor to apply to the original MPIR which will be based on the date in which the client entered care.
