Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document sets the daily patient contribution amount for hospital stays in South Australian public hospitals.

What it does:

Revokes all previous daily fee determinations for recognized hospitals in South Australia
Sets the daily rate at $36.40 effective from 20 March 2006

Who it affects: Patients admitted to public hospitals in South Australia who are required to pay a daily contribution toward their accommodation and care. This typically applies to patients choosing to be treated as private patients in public hospitals, or other situations where daily hospital fees apply under the Health Insurance Act 1973.

Why it matters: This determines the out-of-pocket cost that eligible patients pay per day for hospital treatment in SA public hospitals. The federal government updates this amount periodically to reflect changes in hospital costs and policy settings.
