Extra service places are essentially 'premium' aged care spots offering higher standards of accommodation, meals, or services than the basic requirements, where residents pay additional fees for these perks.\n\nUnder this rule, no more than **15%** of all residential aged care places in any State or Territory can be designated as extra service places. This 15% limit applies uniformly to every jurisdiction: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and the Australian Capital Territory.\n\nThe effect is to ensure that at least 85% of aged care places remain as standard (non-extra service) options, maintaining affordability and accessibility for most residents while still permitting some luxury choices for those willing and able to pay extra."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003","history":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aged-care-act-1997-determination-under-section-32-7-aca-ch-2-no-20-2003/documents"}}
