Getting Started

Aged Care Overview Session
Available in person or online
1hr session

Feeling overwhelmed by aged care? You're not alone.

If you’ve found yourself wondering where to start with aged care — whether for yourself, a partner, or a loved one — this session is the perfect place to begin. The system can feel complex, and it’s hard to know what’s relevant or how it all fits together. Not to mention the hours spent down ‘rabbit holes’ only to wind up even more confused- and hours of time poorer. That’s where this session comes in.

We’ll walk you through the big picture in a clear, simple way — so you leave feeling more confident, informed, and ready to take the next step.

What we’ll cover:

In this one-off session, I’ll guide you through:

  • How the aged care system works in Australia

  • The types of services and support available at home and in residential settings

  • Who is eligible for government-funded aged care

  • What the My Aged Care process looks like — and how to begin

  • Why early planning matters (even if you don’t need care right now)

What you'll leave with:

You’ll walk away with:

  • A simple, easy-to-follow guide outlining the steps to take next

  • A clearer understanding of your options

  • Confidence to make informed decisions based on your own circumstances

This session is designed to give you clarity — not overwhelm. It’s a relaxed, friendly conversation where no question is too small.

Who this is for:

This session is ideal if:

  • You’re brand new to aged care and unsure where to start

  • You want to understand what’s available before making any decisions

  • You’re helping a family member or friend get support

  • You’ve looked at My Aged Care and felt confused or stuck

Please note:

This is a general information session. It doesn’t include personalised recommendations or care coordination — but it sets the foundation for all of that.
If you need tailored planning and hands-on support, take a look at our Find Your Way or Care Companion options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring a family member or support person?
Absolutely. You're welcome to include anyone who may be involved in your care or decision-making.

Is this session available online?
Yes — we can meet via video or phone if you prefer. It's just as helpful and allows flexibility if you're based outside my local area (‘fun’ fact- I can assist through out the whole of Australia, the main information doesn’t change).

What if I’ve already contacted My Aged Care?
That’s fine! This session can still help clarify the process and give you a better sense of what happens next.
