MDFA created this resource on understanding My Aged Care for anyone wanting to access their services.
The aged care system consists of programs and services to primarily support people aged 65 years old and over.
If you’re under 65 years old, you are also eligible to access the aged care system if you are:
* an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged 50 or older, or
* homeless or at risk of homelessness and aged 50 or older.
If you’re under 64 years, you may also be eligible for support under certain conditions.
This fact sheet looks at who is eligible, how to apply, and the types of services that are on offer.
You can download, view online or order this resource at no cost.
