ACCESSING PHYSIOTHERAPY HOME CARE PACKAGES THROUGH MY AGED CARE

As we age, it’s essential to prioritise our health and well-being, ensuring that we maintain our independence and quality of life for as long as possible. For those aged 65 and above, accessing government-funded aged care services through ‘My Aged Care’ can be a significant support system. Among the array of services available, physiotherapy stands out as a vital component in promoting mobility, independence, and overall health.

At Hartwell Physiotherapy, we understand the unique needs of older adults and the importance of tailored care plans to address individual requirements. Working in collaboration with ‘My Aged Care’ and your chosen Provider, we offer comprehensive physiotherapy services designed to enhance your well-being and quality of life.

Home Care Packages are government-funded programs designed to support older Australians to remain living independently at home for as long as possible. These packages provide funding for a range of services, including physiotherapy. To determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package, you can complete an assessment through ‘My Aged Care’.

To ascertain your eligibility for a Home Care Package, you can visit the My Aged Care website and complete their eligibility checker. This tool will assess your circumstances and provide guidance on whether you meet the criteria for government-funded aged care services.

The first step in accessing aged care services, including Home Care Packages, is to undergo an assessment through ‘My Aged Care’. This assessment helps determine the types of services you require and the level of support needed to meet your individual needs. You can initiate the assessment process by visiting the ‘My Aged Care’ website and following the application instructions.

Once you’ve been assessed and approved for a Home Care Package, you can choose Hartwell Physiotherapy as your preferred provider. We are accredited with several Home Care Package Providers, including Aunty Grace, Baptcare, Colbrow Care, Five Good Friends, Fronditha, Home Instead, Pearl Home Care and Samarinda. If your preferred provider is not listed, we are more than willing to register with them to ensure you receive the services you need.

• In-Room Physiotherapy Services: Personalised one-on-one physiotherapy sessions conducted in the comfort of your own home.
