Because it is tied to the pension rate, the supplement automatically adjusts when pensions are indexed.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis determines exactly how much additional government funding providers receive on top of standard care subsidies. It ensures providers get extra support for residents who pay the basic daily fee, with the amount pegged to pension movements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1","history":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-basic-daily-fee-supplement-determination-2012-no-1/documents"}}
