Eligible For Age Care
Am I Eligible for Aged Care Services?
Eligibility for government-funded aged care is determined by factors such as your health, your ability to manage at home, and any support services you are currently receiving. You may be eligible if you:
- Have noticed a change in your abilities or memory.
- Have been diagnosed with a medical condition or reduced mobility.
- Have experienced a change in family care arrangements.
- Have recently had a fall or been admitted to the hospital.
In addition, you must be:
- 65 years or older (or 50 years or older if you are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent).
To confirm your eligibility, you will need to undergo an assessment.
What Will Aged Care Cost Me?
The cost of aged care services varies depending on several factors, including the type of care you require, the aged care provider you choose, and your financial situation. While the Australian Government may assist with the cost of your care, you may also be asked to contribute based on your ability to pay.
