We invite you to visit your nearest office for a chat, or we can drop in to see you at home. You can also access free unlimited phone support 24/7, so rest assured that we’re only a call away.

How to get home care assistance

Step 1

Apply for funding

Check your eligibility by calling My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or do an online check.

If you’re eligible for a Government subsidy, you’ll complete a face-to-face assessment organised by My Aged Care.

Step 2

Meet our team

Once you’re approved, speak to a friendly, experienced member of our Support Team to discuss your care services.

You can also talk to us about private care if you need extra support on top of your subsidised care.

Step 3

Use your services

We’ll design a care plan with you and agree on what support best suits your needs. When you’re happy with it and have funding, your care will start.

Should you need to update your services for any reason, we can help.

Do you need some help?

Know the costs involved from day one

It’s important to understand the fees and costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect. Costs will vary depending on your unique needs and if you have Government subsidy approval. But don’t worry, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to make an informed choice.

You can find the latest cost information on the Home Care Costs page.
