Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument sets daily government top-up rates for aged care homes from 1 July 2006 for residents who can’t meet standard fees. It creates a two-tier concessional rate—higher payment where homes admit a greater share of very low‑income residents—and a lower flat rate for assisted residents. It affects aged care providers and disadvantaged elderly by subsidising care and incentivising providers to accept more high‑need, low‑income residents.
