The Australian government has an assessment process that will determine if you are eligible for funding to provide support at home under a Home Care Package. Services and support may be available if you are 65 years or older, or 50 years or older if you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.
As a starting point, you can use the eligibility checker tool on the My Aged Care website to establish your or your loved one’s eligibility.
Starting the in-home care process can be daunting and confusing. If you’d like some help in navigating the services available and how they meet your or your loved one’s needs, we can help. Call us on 1300 023 676 or enquire here.
My Aged Care is the organisation created by the Australian Government to represent and support older Australians in the process of securing care as their needs change. The website provides a lot of information on what types of care are available, establishing eligibility and the process involved for you or your loved one.
A My Aged Care provider is the organisation that provides and manages care and support for you or your loved one. Alpha Support at Home is a registered My Aged Care provider and can support you or your loved one either privately (with your personal funding) or via a My Aged Care home care package (government funded).
There are a few key steps to applying for funding. The first involves establishing if your loved one is eligible to be assessed. If so, they will be assessed and either approved for funding now, or not. As an experienced, registered My Aged Care provider, Alpha Support at Home can guide you through the involved and often overwhelming process of applying for funding. Either call us on 1300 023 676 to get the process started or make an inquiry online here and we’ll be in touch.
You will need to arrange for another assessment to establish your eligibility for more funding. If your assessment confirms that your needs have changed and a higher level of care is required, you will be approved for a higher level home care package. Learn More
