Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This document sets the daily subsidy (called an "oxygen supplement") that the Australian Government pays to aged care providers when they administer oxygen to residents.

The amounts:

Standard rate: $8.85 per day
Higher rate: If the provider's actual cost of giving oxygen is $11.06 or more (which is 125% of the standard rate), the government pays the provider's actual full cost instead

Who it affects: Approved aged care homes (providers) that give oxygen therapy to residents, and the residents receiving that care.

Why it matters: It ensures providers are compensated for oxygen therapy costs, with a safety net that covers cases where the actual cost is significantly higher than the standard rate.
