What do I need to make an application for home care services?

Making An Application For Home Care

You’ve had your ACAT assessment, and you’ve been approved for a Home Care Package, so how do you make an application?

The first thing you will need is your letter confirming your package assignment. This letter will read ‘you’ve been assigned a home care package’ and includes your referral code. Which is your unique reference number for receiving services, which you will need to give to your chosen provider.

You have 56 days from the date of your letter to enter into a home care agreement with your chosen aged care provider.
