How Much Does It Cost

6-month membership — no monthly charges, no hidden costs

Single Member#

$A210*

6 months

Couple Member

$A330*

6 months

* Pending any Govt assistance or subsidy

# 'Singles' use one bedroom just like 'Couples'.

Your membership gives you access to HSS — use as many times as you need, now and in the future. No per-group charges. Payment is made after your application is approved.

Financial hardship? Contact us. Pending any Govt subsidy for our basic Membership fees, we may be able to assist. Just remember though, all our Members are struggling with an Age Pension that hasn't been increased in real terms since 2009 by Kevin Rudd. And CPI increases that are six months late and not back-dated.

Want it to change? Lobby and nag your local Federal Member, and/or vote for someone who cares.

What is Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA)?

CRA is an Australian Government payment that helps pensioners with the cost of renting. When you share a home, each housemate qualifies for CRA individually — dramatically reducing everyone's out-of-pocket rent.

Raw CRA payment calculations are based on 75% of the difference between the CRA set 'base' rent and your actual rent — UP TO the CRA set maximum CRA.

Weekly Rent Example: $1,000/4 bed Net $250 p/bed

	Max CRA p/week	Min Weekly Rent for Max CRA	Gross Rent p/week	CRA p/week	Net Rent p/week
Single Sharing*	$71.80*	$171.74	$250	$71.80	$178.20
Couples Sharing**	$101.50	$258.44	$250	$95.25	$154.75

* The Govt mandates a 'special' lower maximum CRA payment for Singles sharing as opposed to not sharing.

Rates current as at May 2025. Actual CRA depends on your individual circumstances.
