AN-ACC and Your Budget: Connecting Classification to Rosters and Revenue
The Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) is more than a funding model. It shapes how residential aged care organisations plan their finances, design their workforce and deliver clinical care. Teams that understand it well make better budgeting and rostering decisions.
One model, many departments
AN-ACC touches nearly every part of a residential facility, which is why finance, care and operations teams all benefit from a shared understanding.
-
Operations and clinical care: how the model affects resident care delivery and service models.
-
Revenue and expenditure: how classification connects to anticipated income and costs.
-
Staffing and rostering: workforce planning, compliance and scheduling strategies.
-
Casemix and resource allocation: how the mix of residents links to care delivery and financial outcomes.
-
Funding and cost modelling: how to build AN-ACC assumptions into your budget.
Bringing the numbers together
It is one thing to know how the classification works and another to apply it in a budget. Questions worth asking include: How does our resident mix affect expected revenue? Do our rosters reflect what the model assumes about care needs? Are our budget assumptions documented and reviewed?
What you will take away
By the end of the AN-ACC Essentials workshop, participants will be able to explain the AN-ACC model and resident assessment processes, analyse its operational, clinical and business implications, evaluate its impact on revenue and expenditure, assess staffing and rostering needs, and integrate AN-ACC assumptions into organisational budgets.
Who should attend
Facility managers, ACFI coordinators, care managers, and finance and administration team members.
