Seniors in Mitchell Shire are invited to attend free Care Finder information sessions designed to help them understand and access My Aged Care services.
The Care Finder program is a free service aimed at assisting seniors who may not have anyone to support them at home. These sessions will guide participants through the process of applying for My Aged Care services, including essential support like cleaning, shopping, and personal care.
Sikh Community Connections (SCC) President encourages the local community, saying:
“To access My Aged Care support services, seniors need an assessment to determine their individual needs, eligibility, and service suitability. For many, the process can feel overwhelming, especially if they have no prior experience navigating these systems.”
“If you are, or know of, a senior in Mitchell Shire who would benefit from learning more about My Aged Care and the Care Finder program, I strongly encourage you to book a seat at one of these sessions. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain vital information about the aged care services available to you or your loved ones.”
The sessions will also offer one-on-one support tailored to individual needs, along with assistance to begin applications for My Aged Care support. Guest speaker from DPV Health will facilitate this session.
