It affects older Australians entering government‑subsidised residential care and providers assessing accommodation supplements. The threshold equals the maximum daily accommodation supplement rate × 2,080 plus the lower asset threshold (2.5× the basic Age Pension), determining who receives government help for accommodation costs."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008","history":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-maximum-asset-threshold-determination-2008/documents"}}
