Aged care fees can be complex, and financial advice can be costly. We provide clear, straightforward information to help you make informed decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.

Our approach is to provide information in plain English, to educate and guide families who prefer self-help over comprehensive advice.

Whether it's In-Home Care or Residential Care, we explain costs in plain English, helping your family navigate government assistance and care package fees.

Support at Home will create 83,000 additional packages in the 2025-2026 year, building on their existing announcement of an additional 24,000 packages in the 24-25 year.

Even if you're not on a pension, government assistance can still be available and we look at how your contribution to the cost of your care can be minimised. 

Know that you can speak with the same person next time if you have more questions, including how do you maximise the contribution the government pays towards the cost of your care - your contributions depend on category and your financial means.

Aged care fees can be complex, but we simplify them for you.
