What is My Aged Care?
My Aged Care provides an entry point to Australian Government–funded aged care services for the general public. Older Australians, their families and carers can access My Aged Care information through the website or contact centre.
Health professionals can also refer patients to My Aged Care.
Aged care assessors and approved service providers have portals to manage their service information, assessments and referrals.
Why it is important?
The number of older Australians – those aged 65 or over, or aged 50 or over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – is growing. We expect it to more than double in the next 35 to 40 years.
This means that more people will need aged care services – My Aged Care provides access and information about Australian Government-funded aged care services.
