Am I eligible for government-subsidised Aged Care Services?
One of the most common questions people ask at the start of their aged care journey is: “How can I receive government-subsidised aged care services?”
You may be eligible if you have:
- Noticed a change in what you can do or remember
- Been diagnosed with a medical condition or reduced mobility
- Experienced a change in family care arrangements, or
- Experienced a recent fall or hospital admission.
To find out if you are eligible for services, the first step is to have an assessment. Assessments are done in person, usually at your own home.
The My Aged Care eligibility checker helps you quickly check if you meet the requirements for an assessment before you apply.
