This determination sets the fixed daily top‑up rates the government pays aged‑care homes for two high‑needs groups: $16.15/day for people with dementia who show severe behavioural symptoms, and $6.57/day for former ADF members in residential care.
It affects aged‑care providers (who receive the supplements) and the targeted residents, ensuring extra funding follows those with higher, service‑intensive needs.
