Navigate Assessment and Funding Eligibility
The Commonwealth Government Assessment and Application Process (that's My Aged Care and ACAT) is complex and bureaucratic. ConciAge will navigate this process for you.
Navigate ‘My Aged Care’ the Commonwealth Government entry point to access aged care services including home care packages and residential aged care services
Connect with A.C.A.T. (the Aged Care Assessment Team), who will assess care needs and approve funding eligibility to access Commonwealth government funded aged care facilities.
Where eligibility criteria for Commonwealth subsidies are not met or there is a waiting list, we will work with you to locate appropriate support and services. For example D.V.A. (Department of Veteran Affairs) or private providers.
Work with you to understand what options are likely to be financially beneficial. This is essential for self -funded retirees who at times may find private services are a more cost effective option.
