Join Us for a Free My Aged Care Information Session for the Elderly in Rosebud

What Is My Aged Care and Why It Matters

My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s gateway to aged care services. It helps older people access support such as home care packages, residential aged care, respite care, and more. Many seniors don’t know where to start or what services they might be eligible for. This session will explain:

• How to register with My Aged Care

• The types of services available

• How assessments work

• What to expect during the application process

  
  

Understanding these basics can empower seniors to make informed decisions about their care and maintain independence for as long as possible.

Details of the Information Session

The free session will take place on 2nd September 2026, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm at:

1157 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud, Victoria 3939 (All Saints Rosebud)

• Seniors considering aged care options
