DAP calculated at MPIR rate of 8.43%
Fees are paid to Mayfield Aged Care by Direct Debit from your nominated bank account on the 15th day of each month.
RAD/DAP combination option - If a resident pays a part RAD, their reduced DAP is calculated as follows: Reduced DAP = (agreed full RAD − RAD paid) × MPIR / 365
Effective from 8th July 2026
RAD (Refundable Accommodation Deposit): A lump sum payment that is fully refundable when you leave care. The amount to be deducted will be calculated daily at a rate of 2% per annum and it will be limited to 5 years to protect residents who remain in care for a long time.
DAP (Daily Accommodation Payment): Interest charged on the unpaid RAD balance, calculated using the Maximum Permissible Interest Rate (MPIR).
Formula: Reduced DAP = (Full RAD − RAD Paid) × MPIR ÷ 365
Note: The Daily Care Fee of $66.80 applies to all room types and is separate from accommodation costs.
