Ageing Health Services

About Us

A service to assist older adults connect to aged care services and supports, care finders support older people who experience significant barriers to accessing services, and who could otherwise fall through the cracks.

Care finders walk alongside the person at their pace, to understand their individual situation and support them to work through the steps to address their needs. The care finder will:

  • Provide information about local aged care services
  • Help to set up an assessment with My Aged Care to access support, and
  • Find services that are targeted and available to help.

Care finders assist people with access to other supports in the community. They can provide connections both with accessing services for the first time, and with changing or finding new services and supports if your needs change.
