Steps to accessing aged care
If you need some help to continue living independently in your own home or that it’s time to move into an aged care home, then you may be wondering where to start. We’ve broken the process down into simple steps that will help you get from A to B in your aged care journey.
Steps to accessing aged care
Research
Learn about the different types of care and discover what options are available to you.
Preparation
Get an understanding of what you need to consider and prepare ahead of starting any aged care services.
Getting assessed
An aged care assessment will help you decide what level of support you require so you can get the care that best meets your needs.
Finding providers
Find providers to deliver a range of products and services meeting your needs and requirements.
Managing services
Read about managing your supports. For example: when your needs change, your supports no longer suit you or you would like to change providers.
Research
Accessing aged care can be complicated and confusing if you have not used support services before or don’t know where to start.
Whether you need support to remain living independently at home or are looking for alternative accommodation, it is important to know what options are available to you. Different types of care include:
Support at home
You may be eligible for support at home through government-funded programs such as the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) or the Home Care Packages (HCP) program.
Home care products and services range from assistance with daily chores and personal care to providing meals, transport assistance and home maintenance. Basic assistance is offered through the CHSP, but if your needs exceed the level of support offered though this program, then a level 1– 4 Home Care Package can offer higher intensity support to help you stay at home.
Private providers can also deliver a range of home support services. They are not government funded and you will need to pay for services out of your own pocket.
Short-term care
There are a few different support options available if you only need support for a short period of time. These options include respite care, which can be delivered in the community or in a residential care home, offering the opportunity for both you and your carer to take a short break.
At the end of a hospital stay, the Transition Care Program provides short-term assistance to help improve your independence and confidence. If you have not been admitted to hospital, the Short-Term Restorative Care program is a flexible option that focuses on regaining wellbeing over a short period of time.
Residential aged care
Moving into residential aged care can ensure quality of life and comfort if you are no longer able to remain living independently at home. Also known as nursing or aged care homes, these facilities provide 24/7 care as well as a range of other support services and recreational activities. The cost of care in most Australian aged care homes is subsidised by the Australian Government. There is also a number of non-government-funded residential aged care homes, often referred to as ‘supported and assisted living complexes’ and you will need to cover the cost of accommodation and care delivered.
Retirement living
Retirement villages are not nursing homes; they are clusters of villas, units or apartments and you will need a reasonable level of independence to move into a retirement setting. The government does not fund retirement options. Daily care is generally not included, but some providers may offer support services at an additional charge or this can be accessed separately through government-funded home support options.
Preparation
Preparation
There are a few things to organise before being ready for aged care services. Make a list of what support you’re currently getting, what you feel you need help with and key areas that are important to you in a provider that best align with your wishes and interests.
If you’re wanting to access government-funded supports, the first step in starting your aged care journey is to register with My Aged Care. This can be done online or via a phone call to the My Aged Care contact centre on 1800 200 422.
An operator will ask you a number of questions about your personal circumstances and care needs and set up a central client record.
Examples of the questions you may be asked are:
Are you currently receiving aged care services?
Are you getting support from a carer or family member?
Can you prepare your own meals and do housework?
Do you need assistance taking a shower or bath and do you need help getting dressed?
Are there any health concerns or did you have a recent fall?
Do you feel lonely or isolated?
Are there any safety risks in the home?
The aim of this screening is to figure out what needs and support you require and whether you are eligible for an in-person assessment.
Following this conversation, you will be contacted by someone from either the Regional Assessment Service (RAS) or a local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) for an assessment to determine your abilities and what level of care you require.
Here is a list of documents and information you should prepare for the assessment:
Medicare card and a form of identification; for instance, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) card, driver’s license, passport or healthcare card
Notes or referrals from your doctor
Information about previous home or aged care services you have received
Details about support you receive from family, friends or the community
Questions and information about aged care that you wish to discuss with the assessor, so you have a better understanding of services
The contact details of your doctor and any other health professionals you see regularly
The support of an Auslan interpreter or translator if required
The attendance of a guardian or caretaker if needed
Additionally, consider organising your finances and getting advice about how you can pay for any support at home or a place in an aged care facility. It’s also worth making sure you collect medical records, have details about medication handy, have an Advance Health Directive in place and ensure your will is up to date.
Look No Further!
We’re your local provider, we value your independence and strive to ensure you continue to enjoy the comforts of your own space. Let us support your journey.
We care about you!

Getting assessed
Getting
assessed
The aged care assessment will help decide what level of support you require. Your assessor will be able to help you if you provide lots of information about yourself and what day-to-day tasks you struggle with.
The assessment will be done by a social worker, nurse, doctor or other health professional and can take an hour or so.
If the My Aged Care contact centre believes that you are eligible for basic home support, you will be assessed by a professional from the Regional Assessment Service (RAS).
If you require higher care support, a member of the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will visit you at home to determine the appropriate level of in-home support or residential eligibility.
The assessor will ask you a number of questions about any supports you receive, your current lifestyle, any health concerns or chronic illnesses, how you deal with tasks at home, if you’re struggling with any cognitive issues or memory loss, whether you have problems at home or with personal safety and any activities you engage in with family or in the community.
Topics that might be covered or that you may want to bring up during your assessment include: your medical history; your living arrangements; your support network; current services and supports you are receiving; your cognitive and behavioural functioning; how you deal with daily tasks around the home; any health and lifestyle concerns you have.
Be open and transparent about your wishes and what you believe will be of assistance around the home. They might also ask you for your permission to talk with your doctor or specialist about the impact of any health conditions on your day-to-day life.
The assessment is also an opportunity for you to ask questions. If you don’t understand something, make sure you clarify with your assessor. You shouldn’t be leaving your assessment feeling confused or stressed.
Consider asking questions, such as:
What are my rights and responsibilities during this assessment process? What services are available in my area? Are there support options available for my carer? What financial assistance am I eligible to receive? Are there culturally appropriate services in the area? Who can I contact if I have any questions after the assessment?
Following your assessment, you will receive a letter from the government letting you know if you have been approved for aged care services and what supports are funded.
Finding providers
Finding providers
Once you have been assessed and approved for government-funded aged care, either for services in your own home or a place in an aged care home, you can start the process of finding a provider that suits your needs.
Your letter from My Aged Care, confirming you are ready to start accessing services, will include a referral code linked to the type of service you are eligible to access. If you need the support of multiple services, you will be given multiple referral codes, one for each service.
The service provider or aged care home of your choice will need this referral code to access your information with My Aged Care and manage the referral. They’ll also be able to access the funding allocated to you.
Choosing which provider to trust with providing support is an important and personal decision – one that you want to think carefully about and shouldn’t rush.
You may want to start by writing down what you are looking for in a provider and what is important to you. Are low fees important to you or would you like a provider who can support your cultural needs? If accessing home care, do you want the same support worker to assist you each time and do you want to receive support on specific days or are you more flexible with time?
It’s a good idea to discuss your wishes and options with your family and support network, as they may be able to help you research, provide independent opinions on providers or share personal experiences.
It’s useful to create a shortlist of providers in your local area to narrow down your search.
When considering a potential provider:
Look at the provider’s website, social media pages and online reviews
Check out their credentials, such as quality certifications and industry awards
Do they have any past or present sanctions or notices of non-compliance?
Ask them directly or check the government’s non-compliance finder tool at myagedcare.gov.au/non-compliance-checker
Use this Navigator Guide or the AgedCareGuide.com.au directory to search for service providers in your area that meet your requirements
If you aren’t comfortable finding or choosing a provider by yourself, then there are experts who can help you find a nursing home that suits your needs and preferences. A placement consultant has knowledge of local aged care facilities and can make the process of entering aged care smoother. Find a placement consultant on AgedCareGuide.com.au or call 1300 606 781 to access placement services.
Once you have chosen a provider, you will need to contact them to start the home care services you need or to be placed on their waiting list for a bed vacancy. During this conversation, it is also essential to discuss fees and services with your new provider so you know how much the support or aged care bed is going to cost.

Managing services
Managing services
Throughout your aged care journey, there may come a time where you need to make changes to the services you are receiving.
This may be because you’re going on a holiday or need to go into hospital and don’t need any services to be delivered while you’re away. Perhaps your needs have changed and your current supports no longer suit you. Alternatively, you may like to change providers, either because you’re moving to a different area or because you’re not entirely happy with your current provider.
The process of making changes to your current services depends on the type of support you are receiving. However, the first step should be to talk with your current provider.
Service providers have an ongoing responsibility to make sure you receive quality care and to respect your rights and preferences. They should monitor the services they provide under your care plan to ensure your needs and goals are being met. If there are significant changes in your care needs they can help you through the process of reviewing your supports.
Reviewing your needs and supports may mean that you need to have another aged care assessment. For example: if you were originally assessed as having low-level care needs but your mobility has decreased over time and you would like to access higher level supports.
You can request a reassessment by your local ACAT to determine if you’re eligible for higher level care. You must be reassessed to move on from CHSP supports and between different levels of Home Care Packages.
Depending on the services you’re already receiving, you may need to consider other options, such as:
Reviewing your care plan to identify alternative support options and priorities, such as replacing informal supports with formal supports or considering additional support services – e.g. support on weekends
Purchasing additional private services
Utilising residential care, either as short-term respite to complement your package or as a long-term option
If your current provider can’t offer the services or changes you want, you can switch to a different provider that can meet your needs.
When choosing a new provider: research and ensure they can meet your needs; contact My Aged Care to get a new referral code to give to your new provider and agree on a date to switch your services; notify your current provider, in writing, to let them know you will be terminating your services with them and from what date.
Be mindful that your current provider may charge an exit fee to cover any administrative costs. Exit fees may vary between providers and the amount should be clearly indicated in your care agreement.

Home Care Packages directory –approved providers
Home Care Package approved providers deliver home care and support services to members of the community who live at home.
If you’ve been approved for a government-funded Home Care Package of any type you may approach any approved Home Care Package provider to provide the services you need.
Some providers may only provide services in one region while others can service multiple areas. On the following pages you’ll find alphabetical lists of approved providers in Greater Brisbane Metropolitan.
To help you know which approved providers offer services in a certain region, we’ve included coloured bars down the left hand side of the directory pages.
The reference tables are organised in five regions: Brisbane, North Coast, North West, South Coast and Southern.
The list below is a quick reference guide to help you find in which group council districts are listed. For example: Redland LGA is grouped under South Coast.
Page 27 is a colour-coded map of Queensland to show you which council districts are grouped together.
An explanation of used icons and how to read the HCP tables can be found on page 29.
How to read the HCP tables
The table on the next few pages lists approved HCP providers in alphabetical order, detailing the HCP levels they offer and if they offer any package supplements.
Ethnicity, country or cultural groups listed under ‘Notes’ applies to all package levels in that row. If service providers have an advertisement in this Guide, then the page number of the advert is listed in red under ‘Advert Page’. The ‘DPS Web ID’ number can be used as a unique identifier to find out more information on AgedCareGuide.com.au.
The same type of care and services are provided under each HCP level of care, and these may include transport, domestic assistance, social support, personal care, home maintenance, home modification, nursing care, food services and medication assistance.
The hours of care are increased at each level of care, i.e. more hours of care and services are provided under HCP Level 4 and the least under HCP Level 1.
Package supplements, like the Dementia Supplement Zand the Veterans’ Supplement R, are offered to eligible persons only. Some packages are specifically for people who are financially or socially disadvantaged e, people with housing needs or at risk of homelessness Y or for people who live in rural or remote areas t. The cultural environment g indicates providers offering services for people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Based on your care needs, an ACAT assessment will determine what level of care you are eligible for and if any supplements apply to you.

The list below is a quick reference guide to help you find in which group council districts are listed. For example: Mount Isa LGA is grouped under North.
Page 105 is a colour-coded map of Queensland to show you which council districts are grouped together. An explanation of used icons and how to read the HCP tables can be found on page 104.

How to read the residential tables
Residential icon definitions
Icons in the residential listings represent various types of services available in aged care facilities.
Transition Care Beds
Booked Respite Beds — Dedicated respite beds that should be booked in advance. Prior assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) is required.
Extra Services — A service offering a ‘higher’ standard of accommodation, including increased entertainment and food choices at an additional cost to the resident.
Pets on Premises — The facility owns dogs or cats that are able to interact freely with residents. Some facilities may consider you bringing your small pets.
Secure Dementia Unit — Safe and secure wing or unit of the aged care facility offering specialised care to those living with dementia.
Secure Garden — An onsite secure gated garden for residents (especially those with dementia) to enjoy for recreation or therapy.
Specialist Palliative Care — Specialised care services for those nearing the end of their life in an aged care facility. Staff are trained in pain management and other palliative care measures.
Transition Care Beds — A bed-based service allowing older people more time and support post-hospitalisation in a ‘non-hospital’ environment to optimise their functional capacity.
Culturally Specific — Care services catering to the needs of those from non-English speaking or culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Seldom exclusive, for example, all people are welcome. The home has special knowledge of the referenced culture or group.
