RAD Interest Rate (MPIR) Updates

From 1 April 2026, the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) has increased to 7.96% pa

Because the Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) price approval threshold (the "capped price") has increased to $758,627 RAD's have risen significantly across most aged care homes. Any increase to the MPIR increases the cost of paying via Daily Accommodation Payments (DAP's).

RAD Retention Amount Introduced

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 Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR) which is applied to the unpaid RAD will now be indexed to CPI twice a year (similar to how the Daily Care Fee moves in line with the age pension). This is going to be hard to calculate 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.
