Funding and funder’s liability - When funder’s liability arises

57: When funder’s liability arises for cost of LTR contracted care of exempt person or elderly victim of crime

You could also call this:

"When the government must pay for care of people who are exempt or elderly victims of crime"

Illustration for Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018

When you get care as an exempt person or an elderly victim of crime, the funder's liability starts on a certain date. This date is when you are confirmed as an exempt person or elderly victim of crime under regulations made under section 74. The funder then has to pay for your care.

If a special rule applies to you under section 10 of the Social Security Act, the funder's liability starts when this section comes into force. This means the funder has to pay for your care from that date. You will get the care you need as an exempt person or elderly victim of crime.
