Why reading about it only gets you so far

When a parent can no longer safely manage, you're suddenly meant to become an expert in My Aged Care, ACAT assessments, respite and home-care packages overnight — while holding down your own job and family.

The government website is a maze, the waiting lists are real, and one wrong step can cost months you don't have.

A private hour with a specialist who works in this space gives you the map: what to do first, what to ignore, and how to get your parent the care they need without drowning in the system.

Common questions

Is this financial or legal advice?

No — it's guidance from an experienced professional on how the system actually works. For assessments, funding and fees, you'll work with My Aged Care, your parent's GP and, if needed, a financial adviser — and you'll walk in knowing what to ask.

How fast can I talk to someone?

As quickly as we can arrange it. When a parent's safety is at risk, you can't wait weeks for clarity, so the aim is a private session soon — we'll confirm timing with you before anything is booked.

What's an ACAT assessment and do we need one?

It's the assessment that unlocks government-funded aged care, and yes — for most residential and higher-level home care it's the gateway. A specialist who works with this process regularly can tell you how to get one moving without the usual delays.
