65+ Year Olds
You may be eligible for Australian Government funded home care services if you’re an older person (usually 65+ or 50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) finding it harder to do the things you used to do, or needing short-term assistance.
Based on an assessment of your needs, you may be able to access services that are partly or fully funded by the Australian Government, to improve your wellbeing or stay independent. This could include transport, meals, equipment like walking frames, and physiotherapy. Fees may be applicable with your capacity to pay taken into account.
