In order to apply an appropriate rate, the calculation process for approved care (1.1.A.90) CCB entitlement (1.1.E.30) is quite detailed. The most complex part of the calculation is the adjustment percentage (1.1.A.40), which is based on calculating several other items first. This topic briefly explains the overall calculation in a more simplified form, using a 3 step process. The process begins by calculating the CCB percentage (1.1.C.10) needed for the adjustment percentage and ends with the final calculation of the CCB entitlement.
Explanation: An applicant/recipient's CCB hourly rate is calculated using Schedule 2 of the FAAct. This calculation is normally done on the system. This topic only aims to present an overview of the process to:
This topic, however, does not guarantee to produce a completely accurate CCB hourly rate for a particular applicant/recipient. Normally the CCB percentage will be calculated automatically and sent by the FAO to the service (1.1.A.90) nominated by the applicant/recipient. The service will then calculate the level of fee reduction to be provided to the applicant/recipient.
