What CarePath Planner shows you

Your actual fee breakdown

Basic Daily Fee, Hotelling Supplement, Non-Clinical Care Contribution, and your Daily Accommodation Payment — calculated from your real figures.

5-year estate projection

See how costs draw down the estate over time, including investment returns and the RAD refund on exit. No surprises five years from now.

Automated alerts

We flag the things families miss — 2-year home exemption expiry, NCCC lifetime cap, Centrelink reassessment dates, and more.

Built for families, not accountants

Every term is explained in plain English. Every number has context. If your situation needs specialist advice, we tell you upfront — and point you to an accredited aged care financial adviser.
