292 Information to be given before provider enters into an accommodation agreement with an individual
Before a registered provider enters into an accommodation agreement with an individual in relation to the delivery of ongoing funded aged care services to the individual through the service group residential care in an approved residential care home, the provider must:
give the individual a copy of the proposed accommodation agreement that meets the requirements set out in section 294; and
inform the individual, in writing, of the published accommodation payment amounts for the home, each of which must be expressed as:
a refundable accommodation deposit amount; and
a daily accommodation payment amount worked out in accordance with a method prescribed by the rules; and
give the individual such other information that is prescribed by the rules.
Whether or not an individual pays an accommodation payment depends on the individual’s daily means tested amount, which might not be worked out before the individual’s start day.
Daily accommodation payments are subject to indexation in accordance with the rules.
