EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Issued by the authority of the Minister for Ageing
Aged Care Act 1997
Aged Care (Amount of flexible care subsidy – extended aged care at home) Revocation Determination 2006.
(ACA Ch. 3 No. 19/2006)
Section 1 states that the name of this Determination is the Aged Care (Amount of flexible care subsidy – extended aged care at home) Revocation Determination 2006 and that it may also be cited as ACA Ch. 3 No. 19/2006.
Section 2 specifies that this Determination is taken to have commenced on 1 July 2006.
Section 3 revokes the Determination made by the Minister for Ageing under section 52-1 of the Aged Care Act 1997 on 8 December 2005 (also cited as ACA Ch. 3 No. 22/2005) in its entirety.
While this Determination is a ‘legislative instrument’ for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, it does not contravene subsection 12(2) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003. This Determination revokes ACA Ch. 3 No. 22/2005, which has been superseded by the Determination made by the Minister for Ageing on 28 June 2006 (cited as ACA Ch. 3 No. 10/2006).
ACA Ch.3 No. 10/2006 applies from 1 July 2006 and, due to indexation increases, provides for a higher daily rate of flexible care subsidy for approved providers who provide extended aged care at home to care recipients than was provided for in ACA Ch. 3 No. 22/2005. This Determination does not adversely affect the rights of approved providers or care recipients as at the date of registration. Nor does the Determination impose liabilities on any person in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of registration.
As this Determination revokes a Determination that has been superseded, no consultation with industry was undertaken.
