  An approved provider of a residential care service or an eligible flexible care service must not charge a person an amount of accommodation payment on a day for a room, or a part of a room, in the service that is higher than the maximum accommodation payment amount that was made publicly available by the provider under section 19 for the person's price agreement day and the room or the part of the room.
Note 1: The approved provider must not charge a person an amount of accommodation payment for a room, or a part of a room, in the service that is higher than:
(a) the Minister's maximum accommodation payment amount; or
(b) if the Pricing Authority has approved a higher maximum amount of accommodation payment for the room, or the part of the room, under subsection 52G‑4(5) of the Act—the Pricing Authority approved amount.
 See paragraph 52G‑2(c) of the Act and Division 3 of this Part.
