The aged care pricing update taking effect on 1 October 2025 delivers a headline 4.67% increase in the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) base price. The base subsidy will rise to $295.64 per resident per day. While this looks like a positive increase on paper, our analysis highlights that this uplift masks underlying financial pressures for providers.
