Introducing pricing risk assessments
From Quarter 4 (April to June 2026), we will start ongoing pricing risk assessments to examine the impact of misreporting on residential aged care pricing.
These assessments are not a compliance activity.
The findings will help us develop more accurate funding policy and ensure the Independent Health and Aged Care Pricing Authority has reliable data to set evidence-based pricing.
