Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the workforce supplement — an extra daily payment made to residential aged care homes (nursing homes) on top of their standard government funding.

What it does:

It fixes the supplement at 1% of the basic subsidy already paid for each eligible aged care resident.
For example, if the standard daily subsidy for a resident is $200, the facility receives an extra $2 per day through this supplement.

Who it affects:

Aged care providers (residential care facilities) that receive government subsidies under the Aged Care Act 1997.
The funding is specifically earmarked to support staffing costs and help facilities employ aged care workers.

Why it matters: This provides additional financial support to help aged care homes hire and retain staff, directly affecting the quality of care for elderly Australians living in residential facilities.
