Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does This document sets the daily dollar amount that the government deducts from an aged care provider's subsidy when a resident who is required to pay an accommodation charge or contribution fails to pay it.

Who it affects

Aged care providers (nursing homes and residential care facilities): They lose $10.71 per day from their government funding for each resident who doesn't pay their required accommodation costs.
Care recipients: People in aged care who are means-tested and expected to contribute to their accommodation costs.

Key change Starting 1 July 2007, the daily "adjusted subsidy reduction" amount is set at $10.71, replacing the previous amount from 2006.

Why it matters This figure directly impacts provider finances. When a resident doesn't pay their share of accommodation costs, the provider effectively absorbs a $10.71 daily shortfall through reduced government subsidies.
