Chapter 2Classification of care recipients under Part 2.4 of the Act before 1 October 2022

Part 2Classification of care recipients

  

5  Purpose of this Part

                   For subsection 25‑1(2) of the Act, this Part specifies the procedure the Secretary must follow in determining the appropriate classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care on a day before 1 October 2022.

6  Procedure for determining classification level—residential care other than respite care

             (1)  The procedure set out in subsection (2) is specified for determining the appropriate classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care (other than respite care).

             (2)  The Secretary must take the following steps, using the application for classification completed in respect of the care recipient.

Procedure for determining classification level

Step 1.   For the ADL domain and the behaviour domain in the completed application, the Secretary must:

               (a)     use the tables in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 to identify the score for the rating for each question in each domain; and

              (b)     add up the scores to work out an aggregate figure for each domain (the domain aggregate); and

               (c)     use the tables in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 2 to identify, for each domain:

                        (i)      the range within which the domain aggregate falls (the domain aggregate range); and

                       (ii)      the domain category that applies to that domain aggregate range.

Step 2.   If:

               (a)     the domain category identified for the behaviour domain is the high behaviour category; and

              (b)     the completed application does not include a mental and behavioural diagnosis code;

              the Secretary must reduce the domain category to the medium behaviour category.

Step 3.   For the CHC domain in the completed application, the Secretary must:

               (a)     use the matrix in Part 3 of Schedule 1, which combines ratings for the questions in the domain, to work out the overall score for the domain; and

              (b)     identify the domain category mentioned in the table in Part 3 of Schedule 2 that applies to that score.

Step 4.   The Secretary must determine that the appropriate classification level for the care recipient consists of the domain categories identified for each domain.

Note 1:       For the classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care (other than respite care), see subsection 11(1).

Note 2:       The procedure set out in this subsection also applies in relation to a renewal of the classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care (other than respite care). See section 23.

7  Procedure for determining classification level—respite care

             (1)  The procedure set out in subsection (2) is specified for determining the appropriate classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care as respite care.

             (2)  The Secretary must determine the appropriate classification level for the care recipient according to the limitation of the care recipient’s approval under the Approval of Care Recipients Principles 2014.

Note:          For the classification levels for care recipients being provided with residential care as respite care, see subsection 11(2).

Part 3Classes of care recipients excluded from classification

  

8  Purpose of this Part

                   For subsection 25‑1(5) of the Act, this Part specifies:

                     (a)  a class of care recipients excluded from classification under Part 2.4 of the Act; and

                     (b)  the period for which that class is excluded.

9  Exclusion of class of care recipients

             (1)  The class of care recipients who receive flexible care provided through a multi‑purpose service is excluded from classification.

             (2)  An indefinite period is specified in relation to the class mentioned in subsection (1).

                   For section 25‑2 of the Act, this Part sets out classification levels for care recipients being provided with residential care on a day before 1 October 2022.

11  Classification levels

Care other than respite care

             (1)  For subsection 25‑2(1) of the Act, the classification level for care recipients being provided with residential care (other than respite care) consists of a domain category for each domain.

Respite care

             (2)  For subsection 25‑2(1) of the Act, the classification levels for care recipients being provided with residential care as respite care are:

                     (a)  low level residential respite care; and

                     (b)  high level residential respite care.

12  Lowest applicable classification level—care other than respite care

                   For subsection 25‑2(3) of the Act, the lowest applicable classification level for a care recipient being provided with residential care (other than respite care) consists of the following domain categories:

                     (a)  nil ADL category;

                     (b)  nil behaviour category;

                     (c)  nil CHC category.

Part 5Appraisals of the level of care needed

  

13  Purpose of this Part

                   For section 25‑3 of the Act, this Part specifies:

                     (b)  an alternative period during which the appraisal may be made; and

                     (c)  procedures for making the appraisal.

14  Circumstance and alternative period

                   For subsection 25‑3(2A) of the Act:

                     (a)  subsection 25‑3(2) of the Act does not apply in relation to the appraisal if the care recipient leaves the residential care service through which the care is provided within 7 days after the day the approved provider began providing the care; and

Endnotes

Endnote 1—About the endnotes

The endnotes provide information about this compilation and the compiled law.

The following endnotes are included in every compilation:

Endnote 1—About the endnotes

Endnote 2—Abbreviation key

Endnote 3—Legislation history

Endnote 4—Amendment history

Abbreviation key—Endnote 2

The abbreviation key sets out abbreviations that may be used in the endnotes.

Legislation history and amendment history—Endnotes 3 and 4

Amending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history.

The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.

The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.
