How we check our figures

Where figures come from

• We read each figure on the government page that publishes it.
• We record the page and the date we checked it.
• We show both wherever the figure appears.

When figures change

Many aged care figures are updated on set dates each year. When a figure reaches its update date and we have not yet checked the new one, we take the old figure down and show a notice in its place. We would sooner show nothing than show a figure that is out of date.

Worked examples

Some examples use a made-up price to show what a rate means in dollars. These are always labelled as illustrations. Providers set their own prices.

Check before you act

Rules and prices change. Follow the source links and verify a figure before you rely on it.
