| X[X(199)]

The name of the aged care provider is recorded during the aged care provider application. It is the name registered with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission via the application for approval to provide aged care. Three forms are in use: - The new applicant form is used to capture information on aged care providers that are not currently approved to provide any type of care. Entities funded to deliver the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) are considered new applicants for the purposes of this process.
- The existing approved provider form is used to capture information on aged care providers that are currently approved under one or more of the above Acts and want to provide another care type.
- The government organisation form is used to capture information on aged care providers that are state, territory or local government authorities. These entities are taken to be approved to provide aged care and are not assessed for suitability but must complete a registration process.
Legal name is only one of the names a provider may use. For example, providers may have a business name that is different from their legal name. If special characters or symbols form part of the program name, they should be included. This includes all characters from the standard printable ASCII character set such as the letters A-Z, hyphens, commas, apostrophes, @, # etc, as well as the non-standard or extended ASCII characters such as ü, á, é, ®, ™ etc. Mixed case should be used rather than upper case only. |
