Older people

  • Many aged care services are subsidised by the Australian government to help older people to have fair access to care. People are expected to contribute to care costs if they can afford to. To find out more about financial assistance for older people visit My Aged Care: support for financially disadvantaged people.
  • The palliAGED website also has some resources listed for those that are financially or socially disadvantaged.
  • If you are caring for an older person who is experiencing financial hardship visit My Aged Care: financial hardship assistance section for support services.

Veterans

  • To find resources for veterans, the My Aged Care: support for veterans section gives information about the services provided by the department of veteran affairs and My Aged Care. There is a video that details the experience of a veteran receiving support services.
  • If you are caring for a veteran and they require an increase in services, the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) website explains the services that are funded by DVA. For example Veterans Home Care (VHC), Coordinated Veterans' Care (CVC) Program and other home nursing and allied health services are available.
  • For community nursing providers, visit DVA: Information for community nursing providers to find out how to access DVA funding to be able to provide services for the DVA community.
