Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument sets new daily government subsidy rates for residential aged care from 1 July 2007, specifying higher payments for homes that admit larger proportions of low‑income (concessional or assisted) residents. It affects aged‑care providers and low‑income pensioners who qualify for concessions or partial support.

By paying a premium to homes with higher shares of vulnerable residents, it financially incentivises providers to accept and care for disadvantaged elderly people.
