Aged Care Act 2024

The System Governor must determine that a registered provider is eligible for person‑centred subsidy for a funded aged care service delivered by the registered provider to an individual through the service group assistive technology on a day if the requirements in subsections (2), (3) and (4) are met.

The requirements are that on the day:

the registered provider’s registration is in effect and covers the funded aged care service; and

the individual has an access approval that is in effect that covers the funded aged care service; and

the individual has been allocated a place for the classification type for the service group under section 92 and the place is in effect; and

the individual has a classification level in effect for the service group:

that is in the classification type ongoing or short‑term for the service group; and

is not prescribed by the rules; and

the funded aged care service is not prescribed by the rules; and

the funded aged care service is not being delivered to the individual under a specialist aged care program; and

the day is not a day after the day the individual dies; and

the registered provider has agreed to deal with the individual’s unspent Commonwealth portion (if any) in accordance with Division 3A.

The requirement is that the price charged by the registered provider for the delivery of the funded aged care service is not more than the final efficient price (if any) for the funded aged care service that applied on the day.

The requirement is that:

unless paragraph (b) applies—the day is on or after the start day specified in a start notification given by the registered provider for delivering ongoing or short‑term funded aged care services to the individual for the service group through a service delivery branch of the provider; or

if the rules prescribe circumstances for the purposes of this paragraph—those circumstances apply.
