From 1 April 2026, non-specialised residential aged care homes in metropolitan areas (MM1) have their Base Care Tariff reduced, with the difference redirected into a new care minutes supplement. The supplement is zero if a home delivers less than 85% of both total care minutes and RN minutes targets. Providers should use the online estimator and ensure QFR reporting accuracy, as supplement entitlements are calculated from QFR data two quarters earlier.
