Overview

The Aged Care (Residential Care Subsidy—Amount of Transitional Accommodation Supplement) Determination 2013 (No. 2) was enacted to address the specific financial needs of aged care recipients entering or re-entering residential care services. This legislative instrument, made under section 44-16(3) of the Aged Care Act 1997, aims to provide a transitional accommodation supplement to eligible care recipients based on their entry date into residential care. The supplement amount varies depending on when the care recipient first enters or re-enters residential care. This determination was issued by the Parliament of Australia to ensure that aged care recipients receive appropriate financial support during the transitional period of entering or re-entering residential care. The policy objective is to offer financial relief to care recipients and their families during the transitional period of care.

Scope and Application

The Aged Care (Residential Care Subsidy—Amount of Transitional Accommodation Supplement) Determination 2013 (No. 2) applies to care recipients who either first enter a residential care service or re-enter after a break in residential care exceeding 28 days, with the initial entry date being after 19 March 2008. This determination, made under section 44-16(3) of the Aged Care Act 1997, specifies the amount of the transitional accommodation supplement payable for care recipients from 20 September 2013 onwards. The supplement amounts vary based on the date the care recipient first entered residential care, with a cap at $0.00 if the calculated amount is negative. Additionally, the determination applies a zero supplement amount for days when the care recipient is on pre-entry leave as defined in subsection 42-3(3) of the Act. The legislation applies nationally across Australia and is subject to amendments and modifications as detailed in the endnotes, which include information about legislative history, amendment history, and uncommenced amendments.

Key Provisions

The Aged Care (Residential Care Subsidy—Amount of Transitional Accommodation Supplement) Determination 2013 (No. 2) provides specific provisions regarding the amount of the transitional accommodation supplement (TAS) for care recipients in residential care services. Section 5 of the Determination applies to care recipients who first enter or re-enter a residential care service after a break of more than 28 days, with specific amounts determined based on the date of entry as outlined in the accompanying table. Section 6 provides that the TAS is $0.00 for care recipients on pre-entry leave, as defined in the Aged Care Act 1997. The Determination imposes obligations on residential care service providers to calculate the correct amount of TAS for eligible care recipients, ensuring that the amounts specified in the Determination are applied appropriately. Service providers must also ensure that the correct amount is paid or accounted for in the care recipient's subsidy calculation, in accordance with the Aged Care Act 1997. There are no specific offences, penalties, or consequences outlined in the Determination itself for non-compliance with the provisions regarding the TAS. However, any failure to comply with the Aged Care Act 1997 or other related legislation in the calculation and payment of the TAS may result in penalties under those Acts. For example, under the Aged Care Act 1997, non-compliance may lead to fines and other enforcement actions by the Australian Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. The specific penalties would depend on the nature and extent of the non-compliance and the provisions of the relevant Act.
