Home Care Services – how old do I need to be?

For Government subsidised (funded) services you need to generally be over the age of 65 years or 50 years or older if you identify as Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander.

In some cases, if you have a disability, dementia or other care needs not met through other specialist services or are homeless or at risk of homelessness you may be eligible for Government subsidised support. Contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.

At any age, you can consider paying privately for care and support services.
