Let us know if something changes

If information about you or people involved in your care changes, it's important to let us know. This includes updates such as:

• changes of address and contact details for you and your representatives
• changes to your representatives
• the person receiving care passing away.

You can do this by updating the details in your Online Account or by calling the My Aged Care Contact Centre. When you call, we will ask for your name and address, date of birth and your Aged Care (AC) ID or Medicare number.

If a loved one passes away, you can also let us know through the Australian Death Notification Service, by phone, or through a linked Online Account. Visit our page on notifying us when someone passes away.

If you have a concern about any aspect of your – or a loved one’s – aged care experience, it’s important you raise it. There are different ways to make a complaint, depending on what your concern is.
