If you’d like to access government-funded in-home care nursing, personal care, medication management and other services, you’ll need to contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.

Before you can receive funding for home care services, you’ll need to be assessed. My Aged Care will ask you a series of questions to determine your care needs.

• If you have entry-level care needs, you’ll be assessed by your local Regional Assessment Service (RAS). They’ll determine what services you require. This funding is known as a Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).
• If you have more complex care needs, you'll be assessed by your local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). They'll determine what Home Care Package level is right for you.
