We understand that organising home care services can be a daunting task, and can be there every step of the way in your application for government funded home care services.
At Brightwater, we have helped thousands of Western Australians just like you get approved for subsidised home care, and begin their home care services with us. If you’re in need of care services while you’re waiting for funding, we can help you with that too.
Below is a quick and easy guide to help you get going. If you need any assistance with getting started, please call us on 1300 223 968.
To access government funding for your home care services, you’ll need to call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422, to have an over-the-phone assessment.
My Aged Care was established by the Australian Government as a starting point to access government funded aged care services.
They will work out your needs and care arrangements, and determine whether you’re eligible for funding through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme or Support at Home.
Before your assessment, we can talk you through the type of questions you’ll be asked and how to answer them so you get the most out of your funding.
Face-to-face assessments are conducted in person, at your own home. The SAS assessor will call you to arrange a time to visit you, and you are welcome to have a family member, friend or carer with you, if you choose.
All you have to do is call us once you have your letter of approval. Once we have determined the level of support you have received funding for, we’ll talk you through the range of services available for you to choose from. Call us on 1300 223 968.
If you are not eligible for government subsidised home care, you will be told why and who to contact for help. We can assist through private funded home care. Later down the track if your care needs change, you can request a new assessment by contacting My Aged Care.
