You can talk to your GP or Community Health Nurse about a referral for a free assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team. The team will look at your current needs and work out whether you are eligible for residential care. Once you have received an Aged Care Assessment Team approval for residential care, you can complete an application form and will go on a waiting list for placement. You are welcome to make an appointment to look through the facilities.
