AgedCareExplained.com is an independent digital publication, directory, and fee calculation platform operated to provide Australian families with clear, objective, and unbiased aged care education.

1. Editorial Independence

Our editorial team and clinical reviewers operate with complete independence. Aged care providers, healthcare operators, financial institutions, and government bodies cannot pay to alter our mathematical calculator formulas, statutory explanations, or clinical review standards.

2. How We Fund Our Free Platform

To maintain our calculators, statutory research, and comprehensive suburb guides as a 100% free resource for Australian consumers, we may generate revenue through:

  • Referral & Inquiry Routing: When you voluntarily submit a request to compare vacancies or receive fee sheets, we may connect you with an approved provider or accredited financial adviser who pays us an administrative referral fee.
  • Directory Listings: Approved providers may pay for enhanced profile presentation, photography, or direct lead integration. Enhanced listings are always clearly designated.
  • Sponsorships: Transparently labelled sponsorships on specialized tools or industry webinars.

3. Not Affiliated with Government Entities

AgedCareExplained.com is a private, independent service. We are not the Australian Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care, Services Australia, or My Aged Care. The official government gateway can be accessed directly at myagedcare.gov.au.
