Navigating the aged care system can seem daunting. It’s a complex web of services, subsidies, and assessments, but rest assured, you’re not alone. At My Care Journey, we’re here to guide you through each step with clarity, empathy, and personalisation.
The Australian Care System
The Australian aged care system is designed to support older people and are divided into two primary types of care; home care (in-home) and residential aged care (aged care home).
Home Care is for those wishing to stay in their own homes, offering a range of services from personal care and domestic assistance to nursing, allied health, and social support.
Residential Care caters to those requiring 24-hour support, providing accommodation for older people who are unable to live at home safely or independently.
Both types of care receive subsidies from the Australian Government under the Aged Care Act 1997. Nevertheless, individuals are expected to contribute to their care costs when financially feasible, with the amount of subsidy and personal contribution varying based on the care level needed, as well as the individual’s income and assets.
