Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) For the purpose of obtaining payment of * residential care subsidy in respect of a residential care service through which an approved provider provides residential care, the approved provider must, as soon as practicable after the end of each * payment period, give to the Secretary:
(a) a claim, in the form approved by the Secretary, for residential care subsidy that is payable in respect of the residential care service for that payment period; and
(b) any information relating to the claim that is stated in the form to be required, or that the Secretary requests; and
(c) copies of any documents relating to the claim, or to the payment of * residential care subsidy, that are stated in the form to be required, or that the Secretary requests.
(2) An advance of * residential care subsidy is not payable in respect of a * payment period for the residential care service if the approved provider has not given to the Secretary under subsection (1) a claim relating to the second last preceding payment period for the service.
Example: An advance of subsidy is not payable for March if the Secretary has not been given a claim for January of the same year (assuming the * payment periods are all calendar months--see section 43 - 2).
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply to the first * payment period or the second payment period for a residential care service.
(4) If all the places in a residential care service are transferred from one person to another, subsection (2) does not apply to the first 2 * payment periods for the residential care service that occur after the transfer took effect.
(a) apart from this subsection, the operation of paragraph (1)(c) would result in the acquisition of property from a person otherwise than on just terms; and
(b) the acquisition would be invalid because of paragraph 51(xxxi) of the Constitution;
the Commonwealth is liable to pay compensation of a reasonable amount to the
person in respect of the acquisition.
