What this does

This document sets the daily payment rate that the Australian Government pays to aged care providers for delivering transition care — short-term support for older people leaving hospital who need extra help before returning home or moving into permanent residential care.

Key details

Who gets paid: Approved providers who deliver transition care to eligible care recipients.
How much: $102.77 per day for each care recipient receiving transition care on that day.
What it replaces: Any inconsistent rules from an earlier 2004 determination (known as ACA Ch. 3 No. 17/2004).

Why it matters

This figure determines how much government funding providers receive to deliver rehabilitation, therapy and personal care services that help older Australians recover their independence after a hospital stay. The subsidy aims to prevent premature admission to permanent nursing home care by supporting a gradual transition back to everyday life.
