3 Simplified outline
The following is a simplified outline of this Act and some related material:
In certain circumstances, the Commonwealth will pay to a person an amount that the Secretary considers is equal to an accommodation payment balance, and interest, owed to the person by a registered provider or former registered provider (see sections 10, 12, 13 and 16).
Any rights that a person who is paid such an amount had to recover the amount from a registered provider or former registered provider are transferred to the Commonwealth (see section 15).
The Commonwealth may recoup certain costs it incurs from other registered providers (see sections 18 and 19 and the Aged Care (Accommodation Payment Security) Levy Act 2006).
