If you can no longer live at home and need residential aged care, the first step is to register with My Aged Care and get an ACAT assessment. This is the Australian Government’s aged care services portal where you can access information and apply for funding.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how the process works. If you need a helping hand from us, contact us. At IRT, we’re always happy to help at any stage of the process.
Contact My Aged Care to register and find out if you are eligible for Australian Government funded aged care services. They'll then refer you to your local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) for a face-to-face assessment to discuss your care needs.
You will also need to arrange an income and asset assessment to calculate how much you can afford to contribute towards the cost of your aged care services. This is used to determine how much funding you receive for care services.
After your face-to-face assessment at your home or hospital, you'll receive a letter from ACAT with your results.
This letter will indicate if you've been approved for residential aged care, the level of care you'll receive, your referral code for these services and a personalised care plan.
Once you've been approved for residential aged care, it's time to find an aged care home that suits your needs in terms of location and services. Feel free to contact us to discuss things such as your culture and language options and our empathetic and experienced staff who will care for your needs.
If you have chosen IRT as the provider that best meets your needs, we will work with you to develop a plan based on your care needs, goals and what is important to you.
The cost of your residential aged care depends on the style of accommodation you choose and your individual financial circumstances. The Australian Government regulates and helps with the cost of receiving aged care services.
Additional services may be provided to support and enhance your care experience. Depending on the location, these additional residential aged care services may include extra recreational activities, entertainment and other options tailored to your lifestyle and interests.
