Should I apply?

Have you been finding it hard to do everyday tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and managing meals? Do you rely on a spouse or family member to do any of these things? If so, it may be time to look at getting assessed for aged care support. To do that, you must meet certain age and needs requirements to qualify for an assessment.

You may be eligible if you:

• are 65 years or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) and
• have noticed a change in what you can do or remember
• have been diagnosed with a medical condition or reduced mobility
• have experienced a change in family care arrangements
• have experienced a recent fall or hospital admission.
