How to Access Aged Care

Practical guidance for Australia and the United States



Australia - My Aged Care

Your First Step to Care

My Aged Care is the official starting point for exploring Australian Government-funded aged care. Ask about assessment, your next steps and the support relevant to your circumstances.

Free help preparing

Use our guide to organise your questions or enquire about navigation support. How to Access Aged Care does not charge for its website or guidance. No payment is required. Ask what help is available and what it covers.

We cannot determine eligibility, approve funding or guarantee provider availability. External aged-care providers may charge for care. Keep control of your account: do not share your myGov password or verification codes.
