Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument sets the exact dollar amount that the Australian Government pays aged care homes as a transitional supplement — a temporary daily payment to help providers adjust to changes in the aged care funding system.

What it does:

Fixes the daily supplement at $20.91 for each care recipient
Creates one exception: if an elderly person has been approved for residential care but hasn't moved in yet (called "pre-entry leave"), the payment drops to $0.00 during that period
Replaces the previous determination from September 2013

Who it affects:

Residential aged care providers (who receive this subsidy from the government)
Elderly Australians entering permanent residential care

Why it matters: This figure directly affects the daily funding available to aged care homes. The pre-entry leave rule prevents "double-dipping" where a provider might claim the supplement before the resident actually moves in.
