Do your figures include the amount govt contributed to the Age Care sites annually for each resident or are your figures just the resident contribution? The govt forks out out about $18billion per year to Age Care of which most goes to Nursing Homes.

"Residential aged care is funded by both the Australian Government and contributions from residents. The Australian Government pays subsidies and supplements to approved providers for each resident. The average government payment for each permanent resident was $65,600 in 2017–18. The majority of this payment is the basic care subsidy, which is calculated using the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI). The ACFI is a tool the provider uses to assess the care needs of each resident. The greater the assessed need, the higher the care subsidy for that resident. The Government is trialing a new residential aged care funding tool to replace the ACFI."
