Australia’s aged care system is complex and can disadvantage the people it’s meant to support. We teach people how the system works and how to get the support they need to stay living in their own home for as long as possible.
Learn about My Aged Care, the programs of support that you can get in-home, the assessment teams, home care packages, what to do if your needs increase, and what will change when the reforms begin.
We want to educate people to get the support for their loved ones that we were able to get for our dad as his needs changed, his dementia progressed and he reached the end of his life. We accessed different aged care programs at different times. Knowing what was available enabled us to give him the appropriate care at each step of the way.
In this episode:
- Why we talk about in-home aged care support
- Topics that we’ll be covering in future
- Our personal experience and Dad’s story
- Programs of support that are utilised in different circumstances
- Clinical input to improve outcomes and quality of life
- When should you be thinking about getting some support?
- Aged care is so much more than nursing homes

Our story started as one of supporting our parents to remain in their own home, to be as independent as possible and remain connected to their community. When we eventually needed extra support, we achieved this because we know Australia’s aged care system so well. We knew what programs could assist us and our parents.
Your Aged Care Compass podcast brings together not only our personal experience in supporting our parents but also our vast professional experience in supporting other families to keep their loved ones at home.
We'll help you makes sense of Australia’s aged care system and bring you topics related to ageing as well. Legal, financial, health, forward planning and more.
Your Aged Care Compass will guide you clearly and compassionately to the right support at the right time for your ageing parents and loved ones.
