It has not expanded beyond this narrow, technical purpose."},"complexity_factors":["Extremely short: only 5 operative sections","No defined terms beyond 'the Act' (which simply refers to the parent Act)","No conditional logic, exceptions, or cross-references to other legislation beyond the enabling Act","Single substantive provision (section 5) consisting of a simple table with 8 rows of data","No amendments, schedules, or explanatory material embedded in the text","Purpose is purely executory—implementing an existing agreement with fixed calculations"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a straightforward piece of legislation that sets out exactly how much money the Australian Government will give to each state and territory for public hospitals and health services in the 2021-22 financial year.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Authorises **$30.18 billion** in total funding to be distributed among the eight states and territories\n- Specifies the exact dollar amount each jurisdiction receives under the **National Health Reform Agreement** (a deal between the Commonwealth and states about how to fund public hospitals)\n\n**Who gets what:**\n- **New South Wales**: $9.18 billion (largest share)\n- **Victoria**: $7.93 billion\n- **Queensland**: $6.32 billion\n- **Western Australia**: $3.19 billion\n- **South Australia**: $1.91 billion\n- **Tasmania**: $671 million\n- **Australian Capital Territory**: $548 million\n- **Northern Territory**: $434 million (smallest share)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis money helps pay for the public hospital services you use—emergency departments, elective surgery, hospital admissions. The amounts are calculated based on a formula that considers population, how many services are provided, and other factors. Without this determination, the Commonwealth couldn't legally transfer these funds to the states.\n\n**Key point:** This is purely administrative machinery—it doesn't change the rules about how health funding works, it just executes the existing agreement by setting the specific dollar figures for one financial year."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022","history":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/federal-financial-relations-national-health-reform-payments-for-2021-22-determination-2022/documents"}}
