Asset thresholds for the Residential Care Subsidy
To get the Residential Care Subsidy, your assets and income must be under certain limits.
The asset thresholds for older adults depend on whether you are a:
- single or widowed person in care
- couple with both of you in care
- couple with your partner in care — your house and car remain exempt
- couple with a house and car.
You can see the asset and income limits for the Residential Care Subsidy on the Work and Income website.
