Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This legal instrument sets the daily Pensioner Supplement payment rate at $6.20 per day, effective from 1 July 2005.

What this means:

Who it affects: Aged care providers (nursing homes) that care for residents who receive government pensions (like the Age Pension).
What it does: The government pays aged care providers an extra daily amount — called the Pensioner Supplement — for each pensioner resident. This determination sets that amount at $6.20 for every day a pensioner receives residential care.
Why it matters: This supplement helps cover the cost of care for low-income residents. The determination replaces the previous rate set in 2004, updating the financial support provided to facilities caring for pensioners.

Key change: The new rate of $6.20 replaces the old rate from 1 July 2005 onwards.
