Simmering Funding Pressure

Since the new AN-ACC rates took effect on 1 October, we’ve helped clients impact-assess over 2,000 beds.

While the base price rose 4.67%, the reweighting of AN-ACC classes means most providers are seeing far less uplift — often not enough to cover rising costs from CPI, FWC work-value increases, and Award or EA adjustments.

📉 One small regional home with mainly high-acuity residents (classes 10 – 13) and minimal respite is actually projected to see a -2.37% reduction compared with its pre-October 2025 rate.

What did we do to help?

• Completed a detailed impact assessment based on their actual AN-ACC mix and forecast occupancy.

• Commenced our routine reassessment support program — the same one that’s already helped clients capture $30 M+ in annual funding.

• Initiated ongoing care-minute and funding performance reviews to balance income and cost for sustainable operations.

If you’d like a complimentary, rapid impact assessment, drop a comment or send me a private message, I’ll be in touch to help.
