Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument sets the daily subsidy amounts that aged care providers receive from the government for residents who are exempt from paying accommodation charges.

Who it affects:

Aged care providers – they receive this supplement for eligible residents
Charge exempt residents – residents who meet specific low-means criteria and don't pay accommodation charges

The payment structure: The supplement has two rates based on whether the resident qualifies as an "assisted resident" (a specific category defined in the main Aged Care Act):

Higher rate: $16.56 per day for standard charge exempt residents
Lower rate: $9.74 per day for charge exempt residents who are also assisted residents

Context: This determination revokes a previous version to establish new rates, operating under the authority of section 44-8A of the Aged Care Act 1997.
