Illustration for Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018

This Act decides who pays for the cost of LTR contracted care. You need to know that this Act is about who pays for certain care services. The Act does not change what you agreed to pay for with a provider if those services are not part of the contracted care.

If you have an agreement with a provider to pay for services that are not contracted care services, this Act does not affect what you agreed to pay. You still have to pay for those services as agreed. This Act only determines who pays for LTR contracted care services.
