Applying for your home care funding

To be eligible for government funding you need to be at least 65 years of age; over 50 and Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander; or over 50 on a low income, homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Step 1: Register with My Aged Care

Call 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au to register. Anglicare can assist you with this step if needed.

Step 2: Have an Assessment

My Aged Care will arrange for a free, in-home assessment to understand your care needs and determine your eligibility for government-funded support.

Step 3: Receive Your Care Approval

After the assessment, you’ll receive a letter confirming your approved care level (and funding band under the new Support at Home model).

Step 4: Choose Anglicare as Your Provider

Once approved, you can nominate Anglicare to deliver your services. We’ll work with you to build a care plan tailored to your needs and preferences.

Step 5: Start Receiving Support

We’ll coordinate the services you need—from domestic help to personal and clinical care—so you can live safely and independently at home.
