Hotelling supplement rate
The hotelling supplement rate is paid per resident per day (PRPD).
The hotelling supplement is indexed on 20 March and 20 September each year.
See the Schedule of Subsidies and Supplements for the current rate.
Additional supplement increases
From 20 March 2025 the hotelling supplement rate will be $13.46 PRPD. This includes $0.86 PRPD to meet the Fair Work Commission's decision on higher award wages for indirect care workers, and $0.05 PRPD for standard indexation.
The hotelling supplement increases to $15.60 PRPD from 1 July 2025. This increase will include $0.25 PRPD to fund the remainder of the Fair Work Commission’s Stage 3 decision, and $1.89 PRPD to fund the higher costs of providing everyday living services, as identified by the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority (IHACPA). This will ensure providers are fully funded to deliver everyday living services.
