Aged Care Act 2024

A classification level for a classification type for a service group that has been established under section 78 for an individual has effect for the period prescribed by the rules.

Rules made for the purposes of subsection (1) may prescribe:

that the first day of the period is a day before or after the classification decision was made for the individual under section 78; and

circumstances in which a classification level that has ceased being in effect resumes being in effect for a period; and

circumstances in which a classification level is not in effect on a day because:

another classification level in the same classification type for the service group is in effect on the day; or

another classification level in a different classification type for the service group or any other service group is in effect on the day.

Despite subsection (1), a classification level for a classification type for a service group for an individual is not in effect (and cannot resume being in effect) on or after any of the following days:

the day the individual’s access approval for the classification type for the service group is revoked;

the day another classification decision made for the individual for the classification type for the service group under section 78 comes into effect.

The rules may prescribe the maximum period of effect for a classification level for a classification type for a service group.
