Helpful questions people often search for.

How do I start with My Aged Care?

Call My Aged Care, ask for an assessment, explain what is becoming difficult at home, and keep notes about falls, mobility, showering, cleaning, shopping, meals, appointments and social isolation.

Can NDIS support help with community access?

Many NDIS plans include support for community participation, appointments, shopping, social activities and skill-building. The exact support depends on the person's goals and funded categories.

What local activities suit seniors or people with disability?

Good options can include gentle beach visits, markets, library activities, concerts, craft groups, bowling, mini golf, accessible parks, cafes and supported community events.

When should a family ask for more support?

It may be time to ask when daily routines are becoming unsafe, appointments are being missed, the person is isolated, carers are exhausted, or personal care and home tasks are becoming too much.
