How to Access Aged Care
Practical guidance for Australia and the United States
Start with your country
Write down the help needed, the location and when support is required before contacting providers.
Australia: My Aged Care
Government directory for finding aged care providers. Search by location and the type of support needed, then contact providers to confirm suitability and availability.
Find a provider with My Aged Care
United States: Eldercare Locator
A public service of the Administration for Community Living connecting older adults and families with local support.
Ask providers the same questions
Ask for a written service description and itemised quote. Record answers from each provider so you can compare like with like.
Use listings as a starting point
These are official directory starting points, not independently verified recommendations for individual providers. Confirm current fees, availability, registration and suitability directly.
