SearchCare finder
Provided by ADA Australia
The care finder program supports vulnerable older people who would not be able to arrange aged care services without intensive support and do not have a family member or friends who can help. Eligibility is for people 65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
To receive care finder support, a person must:
- have no carer or support person who can help them, or
- not have a carer or support person they feel comfortable or trust to support them, and
- be eligible for government-funded aged care.
In addition, they should have one or more of these reasons for needing intensive support:
- have difficulty communicating because of language or literacy problems
- find it difficult to understand information and make decisions
- be reluctant to engage with aged care or government
- be in an unsafe situation if they do not receive services.
