*What to do if your parent or partner needs Aged Care*

The system in Australia seems almost purpose-built to be difficult to both understand and navigate. Consequently, the first you need to do is to talk to a HUMAN. Go to the CARE FINDER page, locate a service in the region you are interested in, and make an appointment for a chat. It's a free service and they can really help you navigate what the best choice for you and your loved one will be.
