It ensures providers know exactly how much transitional support they will receive.\n\n**Key detail:** The term \"transitional supplement\" is defined by reference to the Residential Care Subsidy Principles 1997, meaning this sits within a broader set of rules about how the government calculates aged care funding."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008","history":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aged-care-residential-care-subsidy-amount-of-transitional-supplement-determination-2008/documents"}}
