Contact My Aged Care
When considering your aged care options, you’ll first need to arrange an assessment through My Aged Care or call 1800 200 422.
They’ll chat with you about your day-to-day routine, physical and mental health, and what’s important to you.
You can also register a trusted person as a supporter who can assist and access information about your care.
Complete an Aged Care Assessment
My Aged Care will arrange an assessment for you. This will help determine which level of care is right for you.
You will receive a letter advising what care and services you have been approved to receive. You will then be added to the Support at Home queue.
Understanding the costs
Depending on your personal circumstances, Services Australia (Centrelink) will assess how much you will pay towards your services.
If you are already receiving a government payment, please call Services Australia on 1800 227 475. We recommend having your financial details ready before the call. If you have not contacted them before you will need to complete a financial assessment.
Accepting your Support at Home
When your funding becomes available, you will receive a letter notifying you that you have been allocated Support at Home funding.
You will have 56 calendar days from the approval date to choose an approved provider to support you at home.
