AGED CARE APPLIED PRINCIPLES — AGED CARE. 1. The aged care system will continue to be responsible for access to quality and affordable aged care and carer support services, including through subsidies and grants, industry assistance, training and regulation of the aged care sector, information assessment and referral mechanisms, needs-based planning arrangements and support for specific needs groups and carers. 2. Consistent with Principle 6 of the Principles to Determine Responsibilities of the NDIS and Other Service Systems: a. where a participant chooses to move from the NDIS to the aged care system there will be a seamless approach to the person’s transition between these systems, with the person supported at all points during the transition to ensure people receive appropriate supports as they age b. The NDIS and the aged care system will recognise their relative areas of expertise and seek to leverage this expertise as appropriate. 3. A participant can choose to continue to receive supports from the NDIS after age 65, or can choose to take up an aged care place. a. A person ceases to be a participant in the NDIS when the person enters a residential care service on a permanent basis, or starts being provided with community care on a permanent basis, and this first occurs only after the person turns 65 years of age (residential care service and community care have the same meanings as in the Aged Care Act 1997). b. All parties will fulfill the responsibilities set out under Schedule F of the National Health Reform Agreement in relation to aged care and disability services, to the extent relevant to Parties of the Agreement (Clause 17 NDIS IGA). 4. An NDIS participant under the age of 65 can choose to purchase support from an aged care provider and the NDIS will fully meet these ‘reasonable and necessary’ support costs.
