The Commonwealth HACC Program payment schedule for service providers is located in the Program Schedule for Aged Care Funding under Item F. The Schedule sets out the due dates for the payment of instalments for funding. Service providers should receive four quarterly payments within this financial year.

For the purposes of this Fact Sheet, service provider payments have been broken into two categories:

• Service providers who had a funding agreement issued before 9 October 2012; and
• Service providers who received a variation for growth or because they renegotiated their funding agreement with the Commonwealth (in addition to their quarterly payments).

Category One

Service providers who had a funding agreement issued before 9 October 2012 (and did not have a variation for 2012-13 growth or did not renegotiate their funding with the Commonwealth), will receive the payments listed below. Please note that service providers from Tasmania who are eligible to receive Category One funding payments will do so at a different percentage base funding per quarter to that of other states.

Quarterly Payment	Per cent of 2012-13 funding amount payable
7 July 2012	25% base funding (40% for Tasmanian service providers)
7 October 2012	25% base funding (20% for Tasmanian service providers) plus one-third of annual indexation (to be paid over three payments)
7 January 2013	25% base funding (20% for Tasmanian service providers) plus one-third of annual indexation (to be paid over three payments)
7 April 2013	25% base funding (20% for Tasmanian service providers) plus one-third of annual indexation (to be paid over three payments)

Category Two

Service providers who have received a variation for 2012-13 growth or have renegotiated their funding agreements with the Commonwealth and in addition to the payments in category one, will receive:

Payment	Per cent of 2012-13 funding amount payable
30 October 2012	A special, one-off payment comprising of six months’ of the growth and/or renegotiation funding, plus the relevant indexation. This equals 50% of category two providers’ total annual funding for the growth and/or renegotiation amounts (including indexation on this amount).
7 January 2013	An additional 25% of their total annual growth and/or renegotiation funding (plus indexation on this amount).
7 April 2013	An additional 25% of their total annual growth and/or renegotiation funding (plus indexation on this amount).
