About this Event
Healthy Ageing Forum - Navigating the Aged Care System
Are you, or someone you care for, navigating Australia’s aged care system and feeling
overwhelmed?
Join us for a live streaming of this informative and supportive forum designed to help you
better understand recent funding changes and what they mean in everyday life.
Hear firsthand lived experiences from community members who have navigated the
system, along with practical insights and strategies that made a difference. We’ll explore
updates to aged care funding — including changes to Support at Home — and explain how
assessments, allocations and entitlements work.
Packed with clear guidance and practical tips, this session will help you feel more
confident, informed and prepared to make the right decisions for your care journey.
This event will be livestreamed from the Sunshine Coast. Local Providers will be available for Q & A after the streamed session.
Morning tea will be provided.
