✨ Healthcare Contributions

Social Security Act 1964

Maximum Contribution Applying in Each Territorial Local Authority Region From 1 July 2013

Under section 152 of the Social Security Act 1964, the Director-General of Health is required to notify the maximum contribution that applies in each region for long-term aged residential care.

The maximum contribution is the maximum weekly amount (inclusive of GST) that a resident assessed as requiring long-term residential care (through a needs assessment and service coordination agency) is required to pay for contracted care services provided to them in the region in which their rest home or continuing care hospital is located.

Contracted care services are services provided to needs assessed people in a rest home or continuing care hospital that has a contract with a district health board.

The services provided are those necessary to meet the person’s assessed care needs in accordance with the agreement between the district health board and the residential care provider.

This agreement covers residents who are:

eligible for the residential care subsidy (under section 141 of the Act); or
entitled to have funding paid to cover the difference between the maximum contribution and the cost of contracted care services provided to them (under section 140 of the Act).

The maximum contribution is the same for all residents regardless of the type of contracted care services they receive.

The maximum contribution set by this New Zealand Gazette notice applies from 1 July 2013 and replaces the previous maximum contribution notice published in the New Zealand Gazette, 21 June 2012, No. 69, page 1969.

It is equivalent to the most recent, nationally agreed, rest home contract price applying to residential care facilities in each territorial local authority region.

The maximum contribution will change only when a new maximum contribution is gazetted.

New maximum contributions will reflect changes to rest home contract prices that usually result from the annual review of the residential care contract between district health boards and residential care providers.

The daily ex GST contract price for rest home services has been increased by 0.89%, GST has been added and the result has been multiplied by seven to determine the new maximum contribution.

The calculations are rounded to two decimal places at each step.
