National Health Regulations (Amendment)
Subsection 140(1) of the National Health Act 1953 ("the Act") provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, prescribing all matters which by the Act are required or permitted to be prescribed.
Regulation 5 of the National Health Regulations provides that a nursing home specified in Schedule 5 is an Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Home for the purposes of section 4AAAA of the Act.
At the request of the relevant State Governments, most State Government Nursing Homes have previously been prescribed by regulation as Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Homes for the purposes of section 4AAAA of the Act. Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Homes receive funding on a similar basis to nongovernment nursing homes, except that the level of funding provided for infrastructure costs excludes provision for a return on investment. The funding they receive is greater than they received before becoming Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Homes.
This amendment prescribes the remaining government nursing homes in Queensland as Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Homes- These have been listed with the existing Adjusted Fee Government Nursing Homes in Queensland in Past 5 of Schedule 5 to the Regulations.
