Fees
Deakin Cottage and Naraganawali Cottage enable carers to have a short break, by providing day programs and short term accommodation for people who are frail and ageing and/or have dementia. Our cottages are low care services. They are open to all ACT seniors or people with early onset dementia depending on individual care needs. Priority will be given to clients with dementia.
FeesBookings available for 24/7 care.
If you have been referred by My Aged Care for support through this program, we can assist with the purchase of equipment up to the value of $500. Clients with low income or financial hardship will be prioritised. This service is available to ACT residents only.
We request a client contribution of 15% towards the cost of the equipment.
NOTE: If this fee is unaffordable, Carers ACT will discuss and agree an affordable fee. Clients will not be refused service on ability to pay.
