My Aged Care is the starting point for receiving Commonwealth Government-funded aged care services, either at home or in residential aged care. The My Aged Care website has now been revamped, and can be used to:
- register with My Aged Care
- learn about the types of services available
- learn about assessment processes
- find a service provider
- manage your services.
Information on the site has been translated into 22 community languages, and there are links to other resources for people from diverse backgrounds.
Now My Aged Care is asking for feedback from consumers on any further changes to improve the site. Leave your comments by clicking on the contact form link at the top of the home page.
