Understanding aged-care funding
Aged-care funding can involve different programs, assessments, contributions and service arrangements. The support available depends on individual circumstances, needs and eligibility. Use official government information or a qualified adviser for funding advice that applies to you.
Useful questions
Ask providers what services they offer, whether they can work with your funding arrangement, what fees may apply, how changes are handled and how you will receive information about services delivered.
Choosing support
Take time to compare options, ask for information in writing and involve a trusted family member, carer or adviser if you choose. A provider should explain their service clearly and respect your preferences.
