Our work process

Life has a habit of serving up unexpected challenges. The need of full time aged care for a family member and their urgent entry into a nursing home, often seems to come out of nowhere and can quickly throw the best laid plans of the family into disarray. The good news is that aged care financial planning is a proven method to help new Sydney aged care residents and their families save money, and avoid costly mistakes. Aged care financial planners help to provide peace of mind and guidance through the admission process, which can include arranging the finances in such a way that better quality aged care homes for your loved one become a real option. Aged care assistance can help you to maximise pension benefits and income, and to minimise the costs of the aged care homes.

[p]Sydney Aged Care Financial Advisers (SACFA) has provided information and aged care financial advice to hundreds of Sydney residents. We offer transparent services and a competitive fee structure to reduce your financial burden. We specialise in modelling various scenario’s to fund the aged care accommodation bond and optimising your cash-flow.

[subtitle]Aged Care Bonds and Financial Planning Advice in Sydney from Aged Care Assistance Experts[/subtitle]

All residential age care facilities charge their residents an accommodation bond. The average accommodation bond in Sydney range from $350,000 for a shared room to $500,000 – $600,000 for a single room. Some age care facilities charge as much as $900,000 – $1,000,000.

In 2014 the accommodation bond name was changed to Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD). Residents are not required to pay the lump sum Refundable Accommodation Deposit if they cannot raise the capital. Instead they can owe the facility the money and pay interest on the outstanding RAD amount. This interest charge is called a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP).

[subtitle]Our Fees[/subtitle][p]As licensed financial planners and corporate authorised representatives of Harbour Financial Group Pty Ltd we are proud to observe industry best practice and to exceed legislative requirements under the Future of Financial Advice Act (FOFA).

Given the unique needs of every person we work with we are unable to publish a ‘standard’ fee. However, we have developed a ‘quote range’ that we use as a guide for new clients depending on your circumstances.

We encourage you to call our office to discuss your circumstances so we can provide an initial ‘quote range’.

In your first full (FREE) consultation with us, and after determining that we can assist you, we will provide you with our quote. Our fees are great value, quoted clearly upfront and are fully disclosed in the advice documents.
