You may be wondering if you can get some help with day-to-day tasks around the house. Maybe you need some respite care while your family or carer is away, or perhaps it’s time to look into aged care homes. There are many services that can help you maintain a good quality of life as you get older.
This page covers different types of aged care available to suit your situation and level of need.
Explore the different types of care
Maintaining your independence and mobility
You may need some equipment to help you get around and live safely at home. You can access products, equipment, and changes to your house that help you to live at home or in your community.
Help at home
If you’re finding it harder to do the things you used to, you may be ready for some help at home. Getting a little help with daily activities means you can stay independent in your own home for longer. In fact, a little support can lead to a much better life.
Short-term care
Whether you need help to improve your wellbeing and independence or to get back on your feet after a temporary setback, short-term care provides aged care and support services for a set period of time.
How do I access these services?
An aged care assessment determines the type of care and services you may be eligible for.
Using our online tool, you can check if you meet the requirements for an assessment before you decide to apply for one.
