Find Out MoreOur service is free for you. We are paid a fee by the Provider if you choose them. Our suggestions are based on your needs and preferences.

No, CareAbout is not affiliated with My Aged Care. CareAbout is an independent service helping older Australians to navigate their way through the often-confusing landscape of Aged Care in Australia.
Most people in Australia would prefer to stay in their own home than move into an Aged Care Home. The government supports both situations and is increasingly shifting funding to care at home.
We’re lucky that the government helps to fund the cost of aged care. Everyone over the age of 65 years is entitled to some help. And yes, everyone is expected to contribute to the cost of aged care.
If you choose to access government subsidies you need to start by calling My Aged Care. My Aged Care will walk you through the steps you need to take, starting with a face – to – face assessment of your loved one’s needs.
My Aged Care will also guide you through the fees you will need to contribute to the costs of care. You can then choose how you want to spend the government subsidies – this may mean support to stay at home or moving into an Aged Care Home.
There is a delay of up to 8 weeks to access government subsidies. If you need help earlier you can pay for care directly.
If you need help now, CareAbout can talk you through the fees and services of our different partners so you can compare aged care value and service offerings.
