The Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI). The ACFI is a funding tool used to appraise a residentâs need for care across three care domains: activities of daily living (ADL), behaviour (BEH) and complex health care (CHC) (see Box 1).The residentâs score in each of these three domains is used to determine the level of care required for that domain.he score is then used to arrive at the level of subsidy paid by the Australian Government to service providers for each residentâs care needs. In other words, the ACFI attempts to separate out and to measure only those care elements which contribute most to the cost of care and to fund accordingly.
