Due to the very small number of clients, some NT client number data have been included with SA.<br />
"Veterans approved for VHC Services" and "Average number of hours approved per year for non-transitional veterans" relate to services that were approved to occur in<br />
2007-08.<br />
(c)<br />
(d)<br />
The actual number of recipients and average hours provided will be lower than those approved.<br />
Individual service totals may not add to the all services total because veterans can be approved for more than one service. State and Territory totals may slightly<br />
exceed total Australia figure as some veterans move between jurisdictions during the year and are counted in each jurisdiction of residence.<br />
(e)<br />
(f)<br />
Transitional veterans are those veterans who transferred to the VHC program from the Home and Community Care (HACC) program, often with grandfathered service<br />
and/or fee levels, and so may have been approved for higher hours of service than other VHC clients. Veterans who do not transfer from the HACC program are<br />
referred to as "non-transitionals".<br />
VHC Expense figures are as at 30 June 2008. Approval activity data is at 14 September 2008. The expense figures may differ slightly from the figures published in the<br />
DVA annual report due to lags in service provision claims.<br />
(g)<br />
The Service Provision expense figures do not include fees for respite care services, as these are paid under separate appropriations. The 2007-08 appropriation for inhome<br />
and emergency respite was $23.3 million. Residential respite is funded under the aged care appropriation and separate figures are not available.<br />
(h)<br />
Figures by jurisdiction are based on actual budget outcome (for all Australia) for the year.<br />
