These sessions aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to access and navigate the aged care system effectively.
Our Benefits:

What To Expect At Our Information Sessions
In our information sessions, we’ll give attendees step-by-step guidance on how to access the aged care system, including how to access services using My Aged Care. We offer information on eligibility criteria, assessments, and available support services. People attending will be able to gain a clear understanding of the steps involved and the resources available to them.
In these sessions, attendees can learn about community support services, advocacy groups, and local resources that can support them in their aged care journey. It also means they can actively participate in their care, have control, and make decisions that align with their goals.
Our information sessions are also provided in a variety of languages, enabling us to speak to different cultural groups. These sessions also help different members of the community meet, make connections, and socialise.

A Home Care Package is a government-funded program aimed at helping older Australians maintain their well-being, safety, and independence within their own homes. The funding is allocated to a Service Provider, such as CURA, to organise a tailored package of care services to meet your specific needs. There are different levels of packages available to address varying care requirements. To learn more about these packages, contact our team.
To determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package, you must first register with the Government’s My Aged Care program. Alternatively, you can contact us, and we can assist you in starting the process. The My Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess various factors, including your age and the level of support you need, to determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package.
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is designed to help senior Australians access entry-level support services at a subsidised cost, enabling them to live independently and safely in their own homes. These services can range from community respite to in home services. It’s important to note that CHSP services are often provided before being assigned a Home Care Package.
No, it’s not possible to simultaneously utilise both CHSP and a Home Care Package (HCP). When you accept your Home Care Package, CHSP services will conclude, and your new services will be covered by your Home Care Package without the need to pay an additional subsidy.
