Aged Care Funding Support That Makes Sense

ApplyWise provides aged care funding support to help you apply for government services like Home Care Packages and residential care — with confidence, clarity, and less stress.

Government Funding for Aged Care – What You Need to Know

Many older Australians are eligible for government support but don’t realise it — or struggle with the complex steps to access it. That’s where ApplyWise comes in.

We help you apply for the right funding, understand your entitlements, and avoid costly delays.

You might be eligible for:

  • Home Care Packages (HCPs) to help you remain living safely at home
  • Short-term or transitional support after hospital discharge
  • Residential aged care funding if home support is no longer suitable

How the Aged Care Assessment (ACAS/ACAT) Works

Before funding is approved, you’ll need a free aged care assessment through ACAS (or ACAT). This helps determine:

  • Your level of need
  • What kind of support you qualify for
  • Whether you may require residential care now or later

We help you prepare and guide you through the process.
✅ Book your assessment
✅ Know what to expect
✅ Provide the right information
✅ Understand the results
✅ Take the next step with clarity
