Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document sets the daily payment rate for the Pensioner Supplement under the Aged Care Act 1997.

What it does:

Fixes the daily rate at $6.32 for the Pensioner Supplement, effective 1 July 2006
Revokes the previous rate set in Determination ACA Ch. 3 No. 12/2005 (which applied immediately before that date)

What is this supplement? The Pensioner Supplement is a daily amount paid by the Australian Government to approved aged care providers (or credited against fees) for care recipients who receive the Age Pension. It acts as a top-up payment to help cover the cost of residential care or flexible care for pensioners.

Why it matters: This rate directly affects how much funding is available for pensioners in aged care (or how much they pay in fees) from 1 July 2006 onwards. The Minister updates this amount periodically using powers under section 44-28 of the Act.
