Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument sets the daily financial penalty amount applied to aged care providers who breach specific legal obligations. It determines that $10.96 per day is the "adjusted subsidy reduction" — essentially a funding cut taken from government subsidies paid to nursing homes or aged care facilities when they fail to meet requirements like providing mandatory information or meeting care standards. This rate took effect on 1 July 2008, replacing the previous amount from 2007. The Minister updates this figure periodically, typically to account for inflation or policy adjustments.

Key points:

Who it affects: Approved aged care providers receiving government subsidies
What it does: Sets the daily dollar amount deducted from their funding as a penalty for non-compliance
Why it matters: Determines the financial consequence for providers who don't follow the rules
