My Aged Care and Government Package Funding & Allocation

Once an individual has been assessed by ACAT, they will be waitlisted in My Aged Care – the national waitlist for funding. Because government packages are limited, there will be a waiting time before funding is made available to an individual regardless of their situation. There is also no timeframe for how long they could be waitlisted for. Once a package has been allocated, the individual will be sent a confirmation letter from My Aged Care containing an activation code. It is now up to the individual to compare and select a provider of their choice, contact that provider and discuss what care services they can offer.
