           Step 1. Work out the number of points (if any) applicable to the service in respect of its location under subsection (3).
           Step 2. Add an additional 15 points if the service is in a very remote location, a remote location or a moderately accessible location, and more than 50% of care recipients of the service (other than care recipients receiving respite care) are classified at a classification level that does not include any of the following:

                (a) high ADL domain category;
                (b) high CHC domain category;
                (c) high behaviour domain category;
                (d) a medium domain category in at least 2 domains.

           Step 3. Add an additional 60 points if subsection (4) applies to the service (care for homeless people, people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, or both).
           Step 4. If the total of steps 1, 2 and 3 is more than 65, reduce the total to 65 points.
           Step 5. Add the number of points (if any) applicable to the service in respect of its number of places that are occupied under subsection (5).
           Step 6. Add an additional 5 points if more than 50% of care recipients are people with special needs (other than people who are people with special needs only because they live in rural or remote areas or are financially or socially disadvantaged).
      The result is the points score for the 2005 scheme service.
