Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the daily rate of pensioner supplement paid to aged care providers for pensioners living in residential care.

What it does: It fixes the amount at $7.84 per day for the pensioner supplement, which is added to the residential care subsidy under the Aged Care Act 1997. It also replaces the previous 2013 determination.
Who it affects: Aged care homes that receive government subsidies for caring for pensioners, and the pensioners themselves (as the supplement contributes to funding their care).
Why it matters: This daily rate determines exactly how much extra federal funding providers receive for each pensioner resident, directly impacting the resources available for their accommodation and care.
