Ozcare Hervey Bay

Opened in October 2017, this resort-like facility makes the most of fabulous views and cool sea breezes. Designed around a central atrium with an impressive water fountain, Ozcare Hervey Bay offers a vibrant village-square atmosphere.

Our facility has a family focus with numerous cosy and larger common areas for everyone to enjoy. Our smaller, more intimate dining and sitting areas allow residents to visit privately with family and friends.

From lawn bowls and putt putt to a centrally located coffee shop overlooking a children’s playground, all surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens with walking paths, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Rooms and prices

All residents pay a basic daily fee of 85% of the Australian Single Aged Care Pension. Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to pay a means-tested care fee and/or accommodation charge for your room.

Costs includes

Each aged care home sets its own fees within a limit set by the Commonwealth Government. What you pay depends on the facility and room type you choose, and a means test of your income and assets. Depending on your financial situation, you may be responsible for varying costs of your individual care.  We recommend visiting the My Aged Care fee estimator.

Under the New Aged Care Act, from 1 November 2025, residents will be subject to a 2% Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) retention fee, calculated daily. This RAD retention fee is capped at 10% or at five years from entry, whichever is earlier.
