Choose a Home Care Package Provider.
Once you’ve received your letter from My Aged Care with your Referral Code you will be required to choose a Home Care Package Provider to host your Package.
Choosing the best Provider for your unique situation and care needs is one of the most important decisions you can make in your Home Care Package journey. Here are some questions you should keep in mind when you’re searching for the best Provider for you. We’ve filled out our answers to get you started.
Give your Referral Code to the Provider of your choice.
Prior to your Sign-up, you will give the Provider of your choice Your Referral Code. This is a unique number (1- number) that you receive when you are assigned a Home Care Package. This code allows the Provider of your choice to access your ACAT/ACAS assessment which contains important details about your situation and your unique requirements. This code is also important as your chosen Provider will use it in order to trigger your Home Care Package funding on your behalf.
Organise a time to complete your sign up with your chosen Provider.
Once you’ve chosen your Provider, you can set up a time to complete your sign up with them. During your sign up, you will discuss your care needs, what type of services you would like your funding to be used for and complete your sign-up documentation.
Choose which care and services you require.
Your Case Manager will help you find the best care and services for your unique care needs. The idea is to find the care and support services that will keep you safe, happy and healthy at home. The types of services you receive will be dependent on your care requirements and outlined in your Care Plan and Individualised Budget that you will create with your chosen Home Care Package Provider.
