What this section tests
This section is tested with True / False / Not Given (Q1–6), Matching Information (Q7–14). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–6: True / False / Not Given
Strategy: Judge the whole statement against the text. FALSE contradicts the passage; NOT GIVEN means the passage never addresses that specific claim.
Only hospital patients can go on to have transition care.
“You can only access transition care directly from hospital”
TRUE: 'You can only access transition care directly from hospital', so hospital patients are the only entrants.
Transition care may be long term or short term.
“Transition care is focused on individual goals and therapies and is given for a limited time only”
FALSE: care is 'given for a limited time only', which contradicts the claim that it may be long term.
Everyone receiving transition care must contribute to the cost.
“it is expected you'll contribute to the cost of your care”
FALSE: the text says a contribution is 'expected', not that every person must pay, so the absolute claim about everyone is not supported.

“Transition care is provided in your own home or in a 'live-in' setting”
NOT GIVEN: care is provided 'in your own home or in a live-in setting', but living alone is never made a condition.
Transition care may be given on a hospital site.
“Transition care is provided in your own home or in a 'live-in' setting. This setting can be part of an existing aged-care home or health facility such as a separate wing of a hospital”
TRUE: the setting 'can be part of ... a separate wing of a hospital', so care may be given on a hospital site.
You may lose your place in a care home if you have to leave it to receive transition care.
“If you're already receiving subsidised residential care in an aged-care home, but you need to go somewhere else for transition care, your place in the aged-care home will be held until you return”
FALSE: 'your place in the aged-care home will be held until you return', so it is not lost.
