Australian Government department My Aged Care (MAC) provides financial support to assist people to receive aged care services. To receive Government support you need to have an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) member assess your needs.
integratedliving can assist with your referral to My Aged Care to receive an ACAT assessment.
What to do now:
-
Call us on 1300 782 896
We will discuss your needs, guide you through the aged care process and explain our services. We will also connect you to My Aged Care (MAC) and support you through their assessment process.
-
My Aged Care will organise an assessment
The assessment will be either over-the-phone or in-home. The person who comes to visit might be referred to as a RAS Assessor (Regional Assessment Service) or an ACAT Assessor (Aged Care Assessment Team). -
Determine the level of care you need
The aim of the assessment is to learn more about your individual needs and determine the appropriate level of funding you require.
You may be eligible for Department of Veterans' Affairs Home Care Program which can assist you to continue living in your home. Find out more here.

The funding support you are assigned is based on the outcome of your ACAT assessment by My Aged Care.
There are two different funding options that you may be assigned to:
The aim of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme is to provide funding support to older people who need basic assistance to stay living independently in their home.
If you receive services as part of Commonwealth Home Support Programme you are expected to contribute to the cost of your care if you can afford to.
There are four levels of Home Care Packages to help meet different levels of care needs, from basic assistance through to high needs.
- Level 1: basic care needs
- Level 2: low-level care needs
- Level 3: intermediate care needs
- Level 4: high-level care needs
To receive services as part of a home care package, the Australian Government subsidy covers part of the cost and you pay a small contribution to cover the balance.
