Aged Care Act 2024

Subject to subsections (2) and (4), the non‑clinical care contribution for an individual for a day is worked out as follows:

the maximum accommodation supplement amount (see subsection 235(3)); and

the maximum hotelling supplement amount (see subsection 235(4)).

the daily means tested amount minus the result of Step 2; and

the maximum non‑clinical care contribution (see subsection (3)).

If the individual has means not disclosed status for the day, the non‑clinical care contribution for the individual for the day is the maximum non‑clinical care contribution.

The maximum non‑clinical care contribution is the amount prescribed by the rules.

Despite subsection (1), if on a day there has been a total of the number of days prescribed by the rules (whether or not the days occurred consecutively) prior to that day on which a registered provider:

could have charged the individual an amount as the non‑clinical care contribution; or

but for a fee reduction supplement applying to the individual, could have charged the individual an amount as the non‑clinical care contribution;

Despite subsection (1), the non‑clinical care contribution for the individual for the day is zero if, on a prior day (the trigger day), the total of the following exceeds the lifetime cap on the trigger day:

the sum of any individual contributions charged to the individual under section 273 for the delivery of other funded aged care services;

the sum of any non‑clinical care contributions charged to the individual under this section;

any other contribution or fee prescribed by the rules.
