Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination sets the government subsidy paid to aged care homes when residents need enteral feeding — a medical procedure where liquid nutrition is delivered through a tube directly to the stomach or intestines.

Daily rates from 1 July 2010:

$15.42 for bolus feeding (larger amounts given at specific meal times)
$17.32 for non-bolus feeding (slow, continuous feeding over 24 hours)

Safety net for high costs: If the actual cost of providing this care exceeds 125% of these rates (that is, more than $19.28 for bolus or $21.65 for non-bolus), the provider receives their full actual cost instead.

This instrument replaces the 2009 rates and ensures aged care providers can afford to care for residents who cannot eat or swallow normally.
