Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This Determination sets the exact dollar amount for the "transitional supplement" — a temporary extra payment made to residential aged care providers.

The amount: $17.73 per applicable resident.

Who it affects:

Residential aged care homes (nursing homes) that receive government subsidies under the Aged Care Act 1997
Aged care residents indirectly, as this supplement affects the funding their care provider receives

Why it matters: This replaces an earlier determination from June 2007 and locks in the specific rate of extra funding designed to help providers adjust to changes in the residential care subsidy system. It ensures providers know exactly how much transitional support they will receive.

Key detail: The term "transitional supplement" is defined by reference to the Residential Care Subsidy Principles 1997, meaning this sits within a broader set of rules about how the government calculates aged care funding.
