Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does:

This document sets the daily rate of the Pensioner Supplement at $6.45 per day for aged care residents.

Who it affects:

Aged care providers (nursing homes and aged care facilities): They receive this supplement from the government for each eligible pensioner resident in their care.
Pensioner residents: The supplement effectively reduces the daily fees they pay for their care, as the government pays this amount directly to the provider on their behalf.

Key details:

The new rate of $6.45 per day takes effect on 1 July 2007.
It replaces the previous rate set in 2006 (Determination No. 8/2006).
This is a routine update to adjust the financial assistance provided to help pensioners afford residential aged care.
