Archived Grant Opportunity View - GO7121

The purpose of this grant opportunity is to provide targeted temporary support from 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2025 for a small number of residential aged care services with specific characteristics that do not align with existing Base Care Tariff (BCT) categories under the current AN-ACC funding model, specifically:

• services in isolated Modified Monash Model (MMM) 3-4 locations that are receiving standard MMM 1-4 BCT funding but experience higher care costs compared with other MMM1-4 services due to their isolated location, such as a MMM 3 classified town located in an otherwise MMM 6 area.
• services with high occupancy (30 or more beds) in MMM 6-7 locations (BCT funding drops to below that of MMM 5 services for beds 30 and above).
• services in MMM 1-4 locations with at least 50% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander residents and experience higher costs compared with other MMM 1-4 services.

The grant opportunity will be undertaken in the 2024-25 financial year, and it is anticipated that successful applicants will be notified from late September 2024 with funding expected to commence from October 2024 and paid quarterly in arrears.

Providers will be invited to apply for the grant opportunity based on three specified categories of eligibility:

• Isolated services in MMM3-4 - MMM3-4 services in enclaves identified in section 4.1.1, Table 3 (Eligible MMM3-4 Locations under Category 1) of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines.
• MMM6-7 services with 30 or more beds and high occupancy - Services in MMM6-7 classified locations with 30 or more beds and occupancy* of 80% or more.
• Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander services in MMM1-4 - Services in MMM1-4 classified locations with at least 50% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (according to resident pre-entry Aged Care Assessment Team records held by the department).

* Occupancy will be initially based on the average claim days recorded for each service within the AN-ACC funding period of 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023 (including occupied respite beds) and then reviewed quarterly within the grant period.
