A leading Aged care advocacy group is accusing the Queensland public trustee of overcharging people not aware of their financial situations.
Geoff Rowe, chief executive of Aged and Disability Advocates (ADA) Australia says he sees people entering care facilities asset-rich and within a couple of years, their assets have dwindled away on fees and charges.
The Queensland Public Trustee is a self-funded organisation that does not receive government funding, instead generates some 71 per cent of revenue through fees.
