FAQs.
I need some help at home. What should I do?
If your care needs have changed as you’ve gotten older and you are struggling to do what you used to, obtaining Australian Government Funding is the ideal way to get help from the aged care system.
This may be in the form of: A Home Care Package or The Commonwealth Home Support Programme. To find out if you are eligible for support from the Australian government you can call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 and request an assessment. The outcome of the assessment will determine if you are eligible for a Home Care Package, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, or neither at that present time.
Even if you are coping well today, it’s important to recognise that your needs will change over time and could change quickly so it’s best to be proactive and get assessed early.
Keep in mind that if your needs change over time, you are able to be reassessed for a higher level of funding.
I’m ready… how do I sign up with Let’s Get Care?

When will I receive my Home Care Package?
After your assessment you will receive a letter from My Aged Care letting you know the outcome of your assessment. If you are eligible for support you will be approved for a specific level (1,2,3 or 4) and placed in the national waiting list for a package to be assigned to you.
The wait time to be assigned a Home Care Package is currently 1-3 months.
When you are assigned your package, you will receive another letter indicating your assigned funding level and an individual referral code. At this time, you’ll need to choose your Home Care Package Provider.
Please note that you may be offered a lower-level package while you are waiting for your priority level package to become available. Accepting the lower-level package will have no impact on your assignment for a higher level.
How do I apply for a Home Care Package?
