How to access this service

Who can use it: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50+ (non-Aboriginal 65+)

What to do: Call My Aged Care and ask for Aboriginal-specific support. The Regional Assessment Service (RAS) or Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) will visit and work out what supports are needed. Swan Hill District Health aged care team can do the assessment locally.

Aboriginal people can access aged care from age 50 (earlier than non-Aboriginal). Assessments can happen at home. Funding covers personal care, nursing, domestic help, transport to appointments, and meals. Ask specifically for an Aboriginal liaison when you call.
