Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document sets the daily payment rates that the Australian Government pays to approved aged care providers participating in the Retirement Villages Care Pilot.

What it does:

Revokes the previous rates set in 2004
Sets new daily subsidy amounts effective from 1 July 2005:
- $32.65 for each low care place per day
- $110.23 for each high care place per day

Who it affects: Approved providers delivering flexible aged care services in retirement villages under a joint initiative with the Department of Health and Ageing.

Why it matters: This determination controls how much federal funding flows to aged care providers for this specific pilot program, which tests delivering care services within retirement village settings rather than traditional nursing homes. The rates differ based on whether the resident needs low-level assistance (help with daily tasks) or high-level care (intensive nursing and medical support).
