Step 1. Register
When accessing Home Care, to register, call the government service, My Aged Care service on 1800 200 422 or visit them online at www.myagedcare.gov.au
ATZ Home Care home care can also help you navigate the My Aged Care system as it can sometimes be complicated.
Step 2. Be Assessed
Next, a My Aged Care assessor will either discuss your situation over the phone or come to your home to assess the level of assistance you need. If you just need some basic or short term home care assistance with things like looking after your housework, personal care or shopping you may be approved for funded help via the Commonwealth Home Support Program.
If your needs are more complex home care services, you will be approved for a Home Care Package at a level between 1 and 4, with Level 4 being the highest.
While you are waiting for your home care funding or if you are not eligible for funding, we can also support you with private Home Care at competitive rates.
Did you know that privately funding your care and support services is one of our most popular options for our clients.
Step 3. Wait for funding
Home care package funding can take a while, so you may have to wait several months for your initial funding to come through.
ATZ Home Care can usually support you with services funded via the Commonwealth Home Support Program while you wait for your package to be assigned.
Step 4. Choose a provider
Once your home care service funding comes through, you will receive a letter saying your package has been ‘assigned’.
Now you can choose a provider such as ATZ Home Care to deliver your Home Care Services – we can manage all the paperwork from there.
Step 5. Choose how to use your funding
Now you can decide how you would like to use your Home Care funding. Remember, you have complete control over what services you choose.
With the help of your dedicated ATZ Home Care coordinator, take your time and choose the home care services that are most important to you so that you can live your best possible life in the comfort of your own home.
