How to apply for a Home Care Package
If you think you are eligible for a Home Care Package, the first step is to get in touch with My Aged Care. You can call them on 1800 200 422 or visit the My Aged Care website. They will let you know what your next steps are. Usually, there are two options: you will meet with a local assessor from the My Aged Care Regional Assessment Service for a home support assessment, or if you have more complex care needs, you will meet with someone from an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) for a comprehensive assessment. Once your assessment is complete, you will find out what type of supports My Aged Care will fund to help you stay safely in your own home.
