Steps to Apply for Home Care

Home care services are designed to help you stay at home for longer, and can even assist you to become more active and social.

Getting home care can be done in six easy steps:

Step 1. Register with My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 (Have your Medicare card ready)

Step 2. Assessment – My Aged Care will refer you for services straight away if your needs are very basic, or will arrange for you to have an assessment

Step 3. Submit your Home Care Package Calculation of your cost of care form (SA456) (For Home Care Packages only)

Step 4. Find a Provider – Find your nearest Ozcare branch or ask My Aged Care to refer you to Ozcare

Step 5. Review Your Service Agreement & Costs – Sign your service agreement, discuss the costs, and create your individual care plan. If you are on a home care package, you will also create your personalised budget

Step 6. Start Services – You’ll start receiving your services from our experienced team of carers, nurses, dementia specialists, and allied health professionals such as physiotherapists
