Exploring aged care

Make aged care planning easier with specialist advice 

When you or a family member needs aged care, it can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot of information to take in, legal rules to follow, and important financial decisions to make.

Getting the right support early can help you avoid financial and emotional stress later – not just for the person needing care, but for the whole family.

Helping you to make an informed decision 

You don't have to do it alone.

The government’s My Aged Care website and MoneySmart  websites offer information on aged care options, so you can choose what works best for your situation.

Understanding your aged care options empowers you to make considered decisions, at your own pace.

You can also consider getting specialist advice. For instance, Aged Care Personal Advice*  offer a range of services relating to aged care and can help you and your family:

  • Understand the range of aged care options and how the system works
  • Navigate the steps involved in accessing care
  • Assess the costs of care and understand what may be affordable for you or your loved one
  • Explore ways to fund care, including whether to keep, rent or sell the family home
  • Understand how aged care decisions may affect Age Pension entitlements
  • Consider ways to manage fees and preserve assets where suitable
  • Create a plan that supports current or future care needs and quality of life
