Find services for your suburb
Search My Aged Care’s provider directory using your Sydney suburb or postcode. Ask whether the provider serves your address.
City of Sydney community transport provides local transport information. These council services cover a defined area; residents elsewhere in Greater Sydney should check their own council.
Ask about the right pathway
Explain the tasks you need help with, preferred visit times and any access or language requirements. Ask whether the provider offers the specific support approved in your care plan and request written prices.
If you are unsure about assessment or funding, start with My Aged Care. Do not assume a directory listing means your care will be funded or a place is immediately available.
Check before choosing
These are official starting points for Sydney enquiries, not endorsements or confirmed vacancies.
Next step: Compare home-care services. Ask about service area, availability, fees and transport arrangements.
