Last episode we spoke all about the different types of home care services available in Australia and this week we're discussing HOW to access them.

In this episode I unpack:

• How to contact My Aged Care
• What to request when you speak with someone
• What to say to best highlight your needs
• What an ACAT assessment looks like
• What you need to prepare for an assessment
• How long an assessment goes for
• What happens after your assessment

If you want to contact My Aged Care to arrange an assessment for yourself or a loved one, you can do so by calling 1800 200 422. 

As discussed in this episode, if you or someone you love needs mental health support, you can contact Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 or LifeLine on 13 11 14.

The podcast will be on hiatus for a little while, but will be back in your ears again in the future!
