111D  Payments of flexible care subsidy in advance
 (1) Subject to subsection (2), flexible care subsidy in respect of flexible care provided as short‑term restorative care is payable in advance, in respect of a payment period, at such times as the Secretary thinks fit.
 (2) The Secretary must work out the amount of an advance to be paid to an approved provider in respect of the first payment period for a flexible care service by estimating the amount of flexible care subsidy that will be payable for the days in that period and in the following payment period.
 (3) The Secretary must work out the amount of an advance to be paid to an approved provider in respect of subsequent payment periods for a flexible care service by:
 (a) estimating the amount of flexible care subsidy that will be payable for the days in the period; and
 (b) increasing or reducing that amount to make any adjustments that the Secretary reasonably believes are necessary to take account of likely underpayments or overpayments in respect of advances previously paid under this section.
