Key Findings at a Glance
230.72 min Total care minutes delivered (PRPD), up 0.91% with every workforce category recording an increase
93.29% National occupancy, the fifth consecutive monthly increase and the highest level in the series since May 2017
15.93 days Average reassessment turnaround, down 11.97% as the funding pipeline continues to accelerate
$607,276 Average advertised room price, up 0.41%, though the number of homes adjusting prices fell to its lowest since December
Revenue
Average Daily Subsidy held steady at $313.96, up just one cent on May, while claiming activity lifted to 7.02% and the ageing profile of AN-ACC claims eased back. The standout was reassessment processing, which sped up to under 16 days on average — an improvement of almost 12% — meaning providers are capturing funding uplifts faster.
Occupancy
National occupancy rose for the fifth month running to 93.29%, its highest level since May 2017, supported by a 6.45% rebound in new permanent admissions to over 5,000 for the month. Room prices continued to firm, up 0.41% to $607,276, though the number of homes adjusting prices fell to its lowest since December — so prices are still edging up, but providers are repricing far more selectively.
Workforce
Care minute delivery rebounded across the board in June, with total direct care time up 0.91% to 230.72 minutes per resident per day — comfortably above the 215-minute target by almost 16 minutes. The lift was broad-based, with every category rising, led by RN minutes (up 2.32%), Allied Health (up 6.70%) and Diversional Therapy and Activities Officers (up 10.49%).
