Aged Care Act 2024

The System Governor must determine in what order to allocate places to individuals under subsection 92(1) for a classification type for a service group or for a classification level for a classification type for a service group.

The rules may prescribe a method that the System Governor must follow in deciding the order of allocation under subsection (1) for a classification type for a service group or for a classification level for a classification type for a service group.

Without limiting subsection (1), a method prescribed for the purposes of subsection (2) for the allocation of a place to an individual for a classification type for a service group, or a classification level for a classification type for a service group, may be based on any of the following factors:

the individual’s priority category (if any) for the classification type;

the day the individual’s access approval for the classification type was given;

whether the individual has an interim place in effect for the classification type or the classification level;

the individual’s wait time for the allocation of a place for the classification type or the classification level;

whether the individual has informed the System Governor that the individual is not seeking access to funded aged care services for a specified period.
