How Australia's Aged Care System Can Support You At Home

Join Coral Wilkinson, author, advocate and founder of See Me Aged Care Navigators and David Melloy, General Manager Communities with Trilogy Care, Australia's leading self-managed provider to learn what help is available to older people living at home.

Australia's aged care system is complex and confusing. Being approved for coordinated support at home, that is, having an assessment with the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) and then being assigned a home care package is taking longer and becoming more difficult to achieve.

We're going to discuss how to demonstrate your needs so you can get timely access to support as well as how you can have greater control and flexibility in choosing the kind of in-home support you need. This is known as self-management.

Self-management of your home care package ensures your services and support are tailored to you. You get to choose who your support workers are. You get to choose who you want to mow your yard. You get to choose your preferred cleaner, tradespeople and clinicians. And self-management will save you money as well.

Join us for the morning, have your questions answered and learn how to make the most of your home care package support.
