From 1 April 2026, care funding for non-specialised homes in metropolitan areas (MM1) is linked to delivery of care minutes via a new care minutes supplement. The Base Care Tariff will be reduced by up to $31.92 per resident per day, with that amount redirected into the supplement paid based on actual care minutes performance.
