Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the daily dollar amount for the pensioner supplement — extra funding paid to aged care homes on behalf of residents who receive government pensions.

What it does:

Fixes the pensioner supplement at $7.63 per day for each eligible aged care resident
Replaces the previous rate set in 2012
Operates under the Aged Care Act 1997 (the main law governing federal aged care funding)

Who it affects:

Aged care providers — they receive this supplement from the government as part of the broader residential care subsidy
Pensioners in residential care — the supplement is paid because they are pensioners, though the money goes to the facility providing their care

Why it matters: This is a routine pricing update. The supplement recognises that care for pensioners may involve specific costs, and ensures providers receive a predictable, uniform rate across the sector.
