Allocated places for Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) Programme

You must have an existing approved allocation of STRC places to get Australian Government funding through the flexible care subsidy.

About allocated places for STRC

We are not allocating any new STRC places but places can be transferred between providers or subcontracted. 

Revocation of STRC places

If you do not use an allocated place for 6 months, we may revoke it.

Transferring STRC places

You must fill out the notice to transfer aged care places to another provider if you are:

  • transferring places to another provider
  • receiving places from another provider.

You must submit the notice to our office in your state or territory no later than:

  • 60 days before the proposed transfer date if the transfer receiver is an approved provider
  • 90 days before the proposed transfer date if the transfer receiver is not an approved provider.

Subcontracting STRC places

You can subcontract or make brokering arrangements with other organisations to deliver services. You must ensure the subcontracting organisation: 

  • delivers the care and services
  • complies with the legislation.
