To be assessed for an Aged Care Home government subsidy, you first need to register for an assessment with My Aged Care. This assessment is done by a local assessor from an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT), and will look at what type of government-funded services are most suited to your needs, and that you might be eligible for.

Options include:

• a Home Care Package,
• residential care in an Aged Care Home,
• residential respite care,
• short-term restorative care,
• transition care, and/or
• other services that you need.
