Aged care in Australia refers to the support and services provided to older adults who need assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Aged care services can be provided in a variety of settings, including in-home care, residential aged care facilities, and community-based programs.
The Australian Government provides some funding for aged care services, and there are also a number of private aged care providers. The aged care system in Australia has been subject to significant reform in recent years, including changes to funding, assessment processes, and quality standards.
There are a few ways to find local aged care services in Australia:
Aged Care Online provides a comprehensive directory of aged care services, where you can search for residential aged care homes (nursing homes) and home care services based on your location.
Contact the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT/ACAS) in your area. They will assess your needs and can provide you with information on local aged care services that are suitable for you.
Speak with your GP or another healthcare professional for advice and recommendations on local aged care services.
