Australian National Aged Care Classification funding model

The Australian Government provides subsidies to approved residential aged care providers through the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) funding model.

About the funding model

The AN-ACC funding model provides equitable funding to approved providers to deliver care to residents living in residential aged services. Learn about how it works.

Residential aged care funding assessments (funding assessment)

Funding assessments that assign residents to an AN-ACC class determine the funding that aged care providers will receive for that resident. Read about the assessment process and the steps you can take to prepare.
