To be eligible for aged care in Australia, you must meet certain criteria. These include being an Australian citizen or permanent resident, living in Australia, and being aged 65 years or older (or 50 years or older for certain Indigenous Australians). You may also be eligible for aged care if you are younger than 65 years of age and have a disability, illness, or frailty that makes it difficult for you to live independently. To determine your eligibility for aged care, you can contact the Department of Health’s My Aged Care team by calling 1800 200 422 or visiting their website at https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/. They can help you understand the types of aged care services that are available and assist you in determining which ones may be suitable for you based on your individual circumstances.
