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

Different care options that might be available to you include 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, 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, such as 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 Programme 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 well-being 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’s also a number of non-government-funded residential aged care homes, often referred to as ‘supported-’ or ‘assisted-living’ complexes and you will need to cover the entire 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. Retirement options are not funded by the government.

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’s a few things to organise before you’re 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 before setting 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 a further assessment in person.

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:

Medicare card and a form of identification, for instance, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) card, driver’s licence, 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

Contact details for your doctor and any other health professionals you see regularly

A translator or Auslan interpreter arranged ifrequired

A support person to be present for the assessment if you want

Additionally, you should make financial arrangements and seek advice about paying for any support you will receive at home or in an aged care facility before starting your aged care journey.

It’s also worth making sure you collect medical records, have details about medication handy, have an Advanced Health Directive in place and ensure your will is up to date.

Aged care checklist

A checklist is an excellent way to determine which aged care home or service will suit your needs.

Take note of your first impressions when you call the nursing home or service provider. Are staff friendly and willing to answer your questions? When you are considering a nursing home, ask to tour the facility and speak to people already living in the care home. You may know someone who lives there or has a loved one at the facility — ask them about their experience.

You may want to consider a short-term respite stay at the home; that way, you can experience what it is like to live in the facility before you make the final decision as to whether it is a place you would like to move into permanently.

Below, you’ll find a number of questions to ask the provider when assessing the suitability of an aged care home, supported living facility or other service to assist you in making your decision.

The provider

Is the provider for-profit or not-for-profit, church- or charity-based?

Do the owners/directors of the company have a health and/or aged care background?

When was the last time a complaint was made to the provider? What was it about and how was it dealt with?

Are residents and their families encouraged to have input into services offered and the quality of care?

The facility

Does the home look and smell fresh and clean, and is it in good repair?

Are the carpets and floor coverings clean?

Is the inside temperature comfortable?

Does the home meet safety regulations?

Is there good and clear signage throughout the facility?

Are there secure and interesting outdoor areas?

Are there spaces and activities to support people living with special needs, such as dementia?

Do the residents appear clean and neat?

Can you stay in the facility if your needs change?

The staff

Are the staff friendly and welcoming?

Are staff members transparent and willing to answer questions?

When staff interact with residents, what tone of voice do they use? Is there a positive atmosphere?

Do staff look like they take their time with residents to give them personal attention?

What is the ratio of nurses/care workers to residents on weekdays, weekends and at night-time?

Preparation

The room

Is it a single or shared room?

Is the room you’re shown the actual room you’ll be moving into or is it fordisplay only?

Does the room have an ensuite or are the bathrooms shared?

Are there provisions for married couples?

How is the room allocation determined?

Is there access to a private phone line, internet connection or pay-TV, Foxtel, etc?

How is the heating/cooling controlled?

What personal effects and furnishings can you bring to the home?

Are there provisions for safe storage of personal items?

Are there easily accessible alarm buttons in the room and how many?

Are staff respecting residents’ privacy — do they knock before entering a resident’s room?

Day-to-day living

Are there areas for families and friends to meet and celebrate special events?

Can family and friends take part in activities?

Are meals cooked on site or delivered?

Are menus flexible and able to meet special requirements?

What types of individual and group activities are offered and how often?

Are there activities that include cultural and spiritual preferences?

Are there any activities organised together with the local community?

What special events are celebrated?

Does the facility have pets on site or offer a pet visitation program?

Health and personal care

Is there a GP on site or can you continue to see a physician of your choice?

How do staff administer and monitor residents’ medicine intake?

How are medical emergencies handled?

What other services, such as speech therapy and occupational therapy, are available on site?

Is there a dietitian or nutritionist as part of the care team?

Does the facility have a wellness program?

How does the facility deal with end-of-life/palliative care?

Are any provisions, such as continence pads, rationed?

Financial

What are my payment options?

What is the breakdown of the payable fees?

Can you negotiate on the fees and how they are paid?

Getting assessed

The aged care assessment will help decide what level of support you require. Your assessor will best 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 the Regional Assessment Service (RAS).

If you require higher care support, a member of an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will visit you to determine whether you require support at home or would be suited to a residential care facility.

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 you want to bring up during your assessment include your:

Medical history

Living arrangements

Support network

Current services and supports

Cognitive and behavioural functions

Ability to perform daily tasks at home

Health and lifestyle concerns

Be open and transparent about your wishes and what you believe will be of assistance around the home. They might also ask 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. So, if you don’t understand something, make sure you clarify with your assessor. You shouldn’t be leaving your assessment feeling confused or stressed.

Some of the questions you may want to ask are:

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

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 you’re 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 your 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, which may help narrow down your search.

When considering a potential provider, take your time to do some research:

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

You can use this Navigator Guide or the AgedCareGuide.com.au directory online to search for service providers in your area that meet your requirements

If you aren’t comfortable finding or choosing a provider by yourself, 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.

Findingproviders

Managing services

Throughout your aged care journey, there may come a time when 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 because you are moving to a different area or simply because you are not 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 another aged care assessment. For example — you were 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

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:

Take the time to research a new provider to make sure they can meet your needs

Contact My Aged Care to get a new referral code to give to your new provider and agree to 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

Culturalservices

Meeting the needs of all cultures

For many older Australians, leaving their home to move into residential care is a lifestyle change that can lead to an emotionally challenging experience.

This transition can become more challenging for older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds accessing aged care services.

Healthcare professionals in general practice treat patients from a diverse range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

A significant proportion of the Australian population speaks a primary language other than English and patients with limited English proficiency may be less likely toadhere to medication regimes and follow-up plans.

They may also have a decreased understanding of their diagnosis and, overall, less satisfaction with their care. Access to high-quality medical interpreter services may improve the quality of care for these patients.

The Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National) is an interpreting service provided by the government. The service covers over 100 languages and is available24/7 at 13 14 50.

See pages 71–74 for a list of aged care homes and Home Care Package providers in WA who can meet the needs of people from a range of cultures.

For over 25 years, St Basil’s WA has provided Western Australians with safe and affordable quality Care at Home, Community Support and Health & Re-ablement Services.

St Basil’s offers all levels of Home Care Packages and gives you choice and flexibility in how we help you with your everyday lives, including cleaning, gardening, cooking, showering and more.

St Basil’s also offers support to Commonwealth Home Support Program recipients, caring for you or your loved one in your home, providing respite, and supporting you to get out and about and spend a day with friends at our Community Centre in Dianella, offering a range of outings and activities.

St Basil’s approach is always about You, living your life. Your care and support services meet your personal preferences and needs, and are delivered with Respect, Integrity and Empathy.

If you are from a non-English speaking background, wherever possible St Basil’s will provide you with a support worker who understands you and your culture, shares your interests, and speaks your language.

Reforms

The Australian aged care sector is expected to undergo significant changes within twelve months.

In response to recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, the government has introduced a 24/7 nursing requirement for aged care facilities. This new provision is intended to improve the health and safety of residents through access to care, no matter the time.

However, some facilities — particularly those in regional or rural areas — may struggle to meet this staffing requirement and the government is actively working with providers to resolve shortages.

To see if an aged care home offers 24/7 registered nursing, visit the My Aged Care website and access the Find a Provider tool via the Staffing Star Rating tab.

In July 2024, the government introduced the Integrated Assessment Tool as part of the transition to a Single Assessment System Workforce in late 2024.

The Single Assessment System will replace the: Regional Assessment Service; Aged Care Assessment Team; and independent Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) assessors.

According to the Department of Health and Aged Care, First Nations’ assessment organisations will be introduced progressively from July 2025.

Following delays announced in 2023, the new Support at Home program will be introduced in July 2025 to replace Home Care Packages and the Short-Term Restorative Care Programme. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme will also transition to the new program by 1July 2027.

A new Aged Care Act has been introduced to parliament to reform existing aged care laws, as per the: AgedCareAct1997; AgedCare(TransitionalProvisions)Act1997; and the AgedCareQualityandSafetyCommissionAct2018.

Following the passage of the Aged Care Bill 2024, aged care costs, classifications and conditions will change across the residential and home care sectors.

For more information about reforms, please contact the Ageing and Aged Care Engagement Hub by email: agedcareenquiries@health.gov.au.

Home Care Packages directory ‒approved providers

Approved Home Care Package (HCP) providers deliver home care and support services to members of the community who live at home.

If youʼve been approved for a government-funded HCP of any type you may approach any approved HCP provider to provide the services you need.

Some providers may only service one region while others can service multiple areas.

On the following pages youʼll find alphabetical lists of approved providers in Western Australia.

To help you know which approved providers offer services in a certain region, weʼve included coloured bars down the left hand side of the directory pages. The reference tables are organised in five metropolitan regions: Metro East, Metro North, Metro South, Perth North, and Perth South. Metropolitan listings start on page 40.

Tables organised into the five regional areas of Far North, Mid North, Mid West, South and South East then follow on page 47.

The lists below and on the next page are a quick reference guide to help you find in which group council districts in metropolitan are listed. For example, Claremont LGA is grouped under PerthNorth.

How to read the HCP table

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 ʻNotesʼ 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 ʻAdvert Page.ʼ The ʻDPS Web IDʼ 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 Z and the Veteransʼ 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. e

When Annie lost her hearing, she began to lose her connection with Jack, too. I just had to do something.

“Annie had a stroke and lost her hearing. It became so hard for her to communicate with her friends and family, and it was especially hard on her husband, Jack, who loves her dearly and is her prime carer. During my training I’d learned how relationships can become strained as physical or communication difficulties arise. So, with the help of our IT team, we created a solution. We got an iPad for Annie and showed them how to use dictation software that converted dictation Jack’s spoken words into text. It brought so much happiness back into their lives. And into mine.”
