Aged Care Services at Home

If you are looking to arrange aged care service at home for yourself or loved one, you should contact the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). If the person is 65 or older, they may very well qualify for a government subsidy for their care. A consultant from ACAT will assess the level of care for which the person qualifies.

The levels range from level one for basic care requirements to level four for high level or complex needs. The home care package level will determine the size of the subsidy that they will receive.

A means test will determine how much an individual needs to co-contribute. The amount that you are expected to pay is unrelated to the level of care package that you receive.

If you don’t qualify for a subsidy, you can still fund your own aged care services at home. If you’re not sure what funding you may qualify for, you can contact us for more information.
