  (a)   in accordance with the arrangements made under section   285; or

  (b)   in accordance with a treatment determination under section   286; or

  (c)   in accordance with the arrangements and the determination.

  (2)   However, if a person who is entitled to treatment under this Part requires a particular kind or class of treatment that is not dealt with in the arrangements or the determination, then the person's entitlement is subject to the Commission's approval of the treatment (whether that approval is given before or after the treatment is provided).

then the Commission may, in accordance with the treatment determination as it relates to subparagraph   286(1)(h)(ii), accept financial responsibility for particular costs in relation to that treatment (including amounts of subsidy payable under Chapter   3 of the Aged Care Act 1997 or of the Aged Care (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 ).

  (3)   Nothing in this Part:

  (a)   imposes a duty on the Commission to arrange for treatment to be provided to a person outside Australia; or

  (b)   confers a right on a person to be provided with treatment outside Australia.
