What's the process to enter Aged Care accommodation?
The Department of Health and Ageing have put together a pack that details all the steps required to assist you on this journey. These can be obtained from St Catherine's Hostel reception between office hours or alternatively from any Centrelink office.
These packs also detail the relevant costs associated with Aged Care accommodation.
