When should I have an assessment for help at home?

You should consider an aged care assessment when daily tasks, personal care, transport, health needs or staying connected become harder to manage. An assessment through My Aged Care helps determine whether you are eligible for government-funded support at home, residential care or other aged care services.

Next step: Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to arrange an assessment, or contact Helping Hand to discuss home care and private-pay options such as Elevate by Helping Hand.
