Welcome to the 25th Edition of the Aged Care Guide.

Message from COTA

The aged care system is undergoing long-overdue reform - driven by the Royal Commission and shaped by the voices of older Australians who want their rights respected, their choices heard, and their care delivered with dignity.

COTA Australia continues to advocate for a system built on transparency, accountability and individual choice - one where everyone has access to clear, trustworthy information to make decisions about their care including support at home or retirement living.

Resources like the Aged Care Guide play an important role in helping people understand what’s available and how to find support that suits their needs. Together, we’re committed to empowering older Australians with trustworthy, easy-to-understand information. Your voice matters and as we continue to prepare for the new Aged Care Act and beyond, we encourage you to stay informed and share your experiences, as we focus on older Australians rights and empowering people to live their best life as we age.

Message from Aged Care Guide

Reaching over 180 hospitals across Australia, as well as aged care homes, retirement villages, home care providers, and community organisations, we’ve supported older Australians and their families in understanding care options for over 25 years.

With 4.5 million Australians over the age of 65, providing accessible information is at the heart of what we do. Our suite of mastheads including agedcareguide.com.au, Talking Aged Care newsletter and printed guides ensures every Australian can engage with information in the way that suits them best.

This latest edition of the Aged Care Guide for Victoria has been redesigned with a new layout, improved content and directory tables which are easier to navigate. It breaks down the aged care journey into clear steps – from researching your options to managing ongoing support – covering aged care homes, help at home, retirement living, assistive technology, and planning for what’s next.

We genuinely wish you all the best in finding the care that’s right for you and know that the Aged Care Guide is here to walk with you, every step of the way.

“I didn’t know where to begin”

: A daughter’s journey to find care for her mum

When Mum’s health began to decline, I knew the day would come when she couldn’t live at home anymore. But when that moment finally arrived, I still wasn’t ready. I had been helping care for her for years, and the thought of her moving into aged care filled me with guilt, fear, and uncertainty.

I didn’t know where to begin. There were so many unknowns. What would the care be like? Would she be treated with kindness? Would it feel like a home, or just a home?

A friend told me about the Aged Care Guide, so I gave it a look. I’m glad I did, it helped make sense of the chaos. I could see what homes were nearby, compare what they offered, and start to wrap my head around what life might look like for Mum.

Every home felt different. Some were modern and beautiful on the surface, but lacked warmth. Others were more modest, but filled with the hum of caring voices and thoughtful touches. The people made all the difference –especially the nurses and managers. Their tone, eye contact, and how they spoke to residents said more than any brochure ever could.

I remember walking out of one tour in tears. It just didn’t feel right – and the idea of placing my mother there broke my heart. But then I visited another home that gave me hope, “it smelled like lavender and had fresh scones in the kitchen – that stayed with me.” It wasn’t the fanciest, but it felt safe. Welcoming. Human. The manager answered every question honestly, and the staff knew the residents by name.

That was the moment I realised I could do this – not perfectly, but with care and love.

Finding aged care for someone you love is one of the hardest things you’ll do. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to feel unsure. But know this: there are good homes out there. There are people who will care for your loved one like you would.

I still wish Mum didn’t need aged care. But I found a home that feels like the next best thing to mine. The nurses greet her by name. They know how she takes her tea.

And while the guilt never fully disappears, I sleep better knowing she’s somewhere safe – and surrounded by kindness.

Residential Aged Care

Lifeview is a family focused community, providing care and wellness in a supportive, social environment. Residents enjoy peace of mind and live well through engagement, warm hospitality and lifestyle choices.

Australian owned and operated we offer permanent, and respite care in the eastern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

A Rainbow Tick accredited organistation, Lifeview is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer friendly for residents, staff and volunteers. We are committed to ensuring older Australians are able to age with grace, dignity, choice and without fear of prejudice.

Home2Home

Lifeview homes feature Home2Home, our exclusive small‑house, relationship based model of care, where multi skilled staff (housemates), work with the same group of residents all the time. Home2Home enables staff to spend more meaningful time within their household, creating better continuity of care and building on already established relationships.

Home2Home also assists residents to remain as independent as they desire, to have a say in how the home is run, what meals they would like to see on the menu, and what activities they wish to participate in.

Active Vibrant Living

Lifeview focuses on promoting resident wellbeing and quality of life through best practice lifestyle programming, intergenerational engagement and a culture of inclusion, fun and positivity.

Lifeview’s residences are designed to help people live active lives with plenty of social activities and community involvement. This, coupled with our exceptional care and warm, welcoming environment, is what Lifeview is all about.

All rooms in Lifeview’s homes are single with en suite, giving residents their own secure private space. Pets are also welcome at Lifeview.

We believe in making laughter and fun a priority, you are never too old to have fun. Our energetic and creative social support team organise a monthly calendar of events, with meaningful activities scheduled seven days a week, designed to capture the interests of all residents. The program also features special events and theme days, tailored exclusively to each home. Our social activities program is diverse and inclusive.

We encourage you to book a private tour with us at a time that suits you, Monday to Saturday, to see the Lifeview difference for yourself.

Your first steps to aged care: What to do and where to start?

Navigating the aged care system can feel overwhelming, but understanding the first steps can make the process easier.

It starts with checking eligibility, getting an assessment, understanding costs, and then finding the right care home or support service.

Step 1: Get assessed

To access government-subsidised aged care, you’ll need an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System.

This assessment determines if you’re eligible for care at home, in the community, or in a residential aged care home.

You may qualify if you:

» are aged 65 or older, or 50 or older if you’re an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person

» have difficulty with everyday activities such as showering, cooking, or moving safely

» or have complex health needs that require ongoing support.

To apply, contact My Aged Care (below).

An assessor will visit you at home (or hospital) to discuss your care needs, preferences, and goals.

What

happens after your assessment

What happens after your assessment

Once your assessment is complete, you’ll receive:

» an approval record confirming your eligibility for support

» a support plan tailored to your needs

» and information about potential fees or contributions from Services Australia

Depending on your needs, you may be approved for:

» Support at Home Program – for flexible services to help you live independently at home

» Residential aged care – for ongoing 24-hour care and accommodation

» Respite care – for short-term support for you and your carer

Step 2: Understanding costs

Aged care fees vary depending on your income, assets, and care type. From 1 November 2025, residential aged care costs are regulated under the Higher Standards for Everyday Living Fees (HELF) framework. Under these rules, you may pay:

» a Basic Daily Fee, capped at 85% of the single basic Age Pension and indexed in March and September each year

» a hotelling contribution and/or non-clinical care contribution (for those with higher means)

» accommodation costs (which can be paid as a refundable deposit, daily payment, or combination)

» and an optional higher everyday living fee (HELF) for premium or lifestyle services

Government subsidies apply based on your means assessment. For people accessing home care from 1 Nov 2025, Support at Home program replaces Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme will transition no earlier than 1 July 2027.

Step 3:

Finding and choosing a home

Once you’ve been approved for residential care, you can start comparing homes.

Use agedcareguide.com.au/compare:

» locations near family or friends

» room types, costs, and photos

» available services and quality ratings

Visit your shortlisted homes, meet staff, and ask questions about care, lifestyle, and daily routines.

Step 4: Signing your resident agreement

Once you accept an offer, you’ll receive a Resident Agreement.

This is a legal document that outlines:

» the services and care you’ll receive

» fees and payment options

» your rights and responsibilities

» and the provider’s obligations under the Aged Care Quality Standards (2025)

Take time to review the agreement and seek advice before signing.

You can also ask an aged care financial adviser or legal professional to explain the terms.

Getting started

Before you can access government-subsidised aged care support – whether at home, in the community, or in a residential aged care home – you’ll need to register with My Aged Care.

My Aged Care is the national entry point for all aged care services. It connects older Australians, their carers, and families with government-subsidised care options and information about costs, eligibility, and service providers.

What happens when you contact My Aged Care

When you contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au, a team member will help set up your record and ask questions to understand your current situation.

You’ll need your Medicare card handy to confirm your details.

They may ask about:

» the type of help you currently receive at home

» your ability to manage everyday tasks (such as meals, housework, or transport)

» whether you receive support from a carer or family member

» any health conditions, mobility issues, or recent injuries

» how you are feeling socially and emotionally

» any safety or accessibility concerns in your home

This brief conversation helps My Aged Care decide which level of support and assessment is appropriate for you.

The assessment process –Single Assessment System

The Single Assessment System commenced 9 December 2024, replacing the previous ACAT and RAS assessment workforces.

The new system provides one consistent assessment for all aged care programs. It determines eligibility for:

» Support at Home Program –for people needing help to live independently at home

» Residential aged care – for those who need ongoing, 24-hour care

» Respite care – short-term care in a home or residential setting

An assessor will visit you – usually in person – to discuss your health, living arrangements, preferences, and goals. After the assessment, you’ll receive:

» an approval record showing what services you can access

» a support plan tailored to your needs

» and details about any contributions or fees determined by Services Australia.

Getting started

Support at home program

The Support at Home Program replaced Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care from 1 November 2025.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) continues to operate and will transition no earlier than 1 July 2027.

It provides more flexibility so you can choose and adjust services as your needs change.

Support can include:

» personal care and nursing

» cleaning, meals, and home maintenance

» transport, shopping, or social activities

» allied health or therapy services

Your provider will work with you to design a plan that supports your independence and wellbeing.

Victoria note

All assessments and government-funded aged care services in Victoria are delivered through the national My Aged Care system.

Local organisations - such as community health services and not-for-profit providers – deliver the care but must meet the same national Aged Care Quality Standards (2025).

Victoria providers must publish their HELF fee schedules and accommodation prices on the Find a provider tool and on their own websites.

The most frequently asked questions about aged care costs:

Do I have to pay for aged care in Australia?

Yes. All residents in government-subsidised aged care homes pay a Basic Daily Fee, which helps cover meals, laundry and other everyday living costs.

The Basic Daily Fee is capped at 85% of the single basic Age Pension and indexed in March and September each year. The applicable rate is determined at the time of entry.

What types of fees apply to residential aged care?

Beyond the Basic Daily Fee, additional costs depend on your financial situation and care needs. These include:

» Non-Clinical Care Contribution (NCCC): Introduced 1 November 2025 to replace the Means-Tested Care Fee. This means-tested daily fee helps cover personal (non-clinical) care and ranges from $0 to around $101.16 per day (indexed March and September). Lifetime cap applies: $135,318.69 (indexed) OR 4 years (1460 cumulative days), whichever occurs first.

» Accommodation Payment: Payable as a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), or a mix. From 1 Nov 2025, providers may retain up to 2 % per year of a RAD for five years (max 10 %). Residents receiving government support pay a Refundable or Daily Accommodation Contribution (RAC/DAC) instead.

» Higher Everyday Living Fee (HELF): Optional premium services such as enhanced menus or entertainment, agreed privately with your provider.

• HELF cannot be charged before entry.

• Cannot be a condition of entry.

• Cannot be required to secure a specific room.

• Written agreement required with cooling-off rights.

gardens, balconies and courtyards

The most frequently asked questions about aged care costs:

Cont’d

Is it better to pay a RAD or DAP?

It depends on your circumstances. A RAD is a refundable lump sum minus any agreed retention ( ≤ 2 % p.a., max 10 %). A DAP is a smaller ongoing daily payment based on the room price and MPIR (Maximum Permissible Interest Rate) – 7.65% (current quarterly rate). Note: MPIR is set quarterly by Government. Residents on government support pay a RAC or DAC instead. Many choose a mix of both. Professional financial advice is recommended.

Do I have to sell my family home to move into aged care?

Not necessarily. If a protected person (such as a spouse, partner, dependent child or eligible carer) lives there, your home is exempt from the asset test. If no protected person remains, the home’s assessable value is capped at the indexed value set by Services Australia at the time of assessment (for example, $210,555.20 as at 20 September 2025). You can decide whether to sell or keep it based on your financial adviceand care plan.

Updated Fee Estimator

Calculate current HELF-aligned fees

How much do I pay and how much does the government cover?

If you can afford it, you’re expected to pay for your accommodation.

Government help is available based on a means assessment:

» Income below $34,671.20 and assets below $61,500 – the Government pays your full accommodation costs.

» Income above $206,735.20 – you pay the full agreed accommodation price with the aged care home.

» If your income and assets fall between these thresholds, Services Australia works out how much you pay and the Government covers the rest.

You may still be asked to pay the full cost even if your income or assets are below these thresholds, depending on your circumstances and room price.

(Thresholds are indexed in March and September each year. Amounts apply at the time of assessment.)

Getting help from an aged care expert

Navigating aged care can be complex, with financial, legal, and care decisions that affect your comfort, independence, and long-term wellbeing.

Getting help from the right professionals can make this process smoother and give you confidence in the decisions you make.

Choosing the right expert

The type of help you need depends on your situation. Some people seek financial advice to plan for costs, others need placement support to find the right home quickly, and many families look for legal advice to manage important documents.

When selecting an aged care expert, consider:

» Experience and qualifications – Look for professionals with proven experience in aged care and appropriate certifications (e.g. CFP for financial advisers, legal accreditation for solicitors).

» Memberships – Check that they belong to recognised professional associations such as the Financial Advice Association of Australia (FAAA) or the Law Institute of Victoria (LIV).

» Client feedback – Read reviews on the Aged Care Guide or similar platforms to understand how others have rated their services.

» Understand the new fee structure under the HELF framework, including hotelling and non-clinical care contributions.

» Work out how to pay for accommodation through RAD, DAP, RAC, or DAC arrangements.

» Maximise your Age Pension or DVA entitlements.

» Ensure your chosen payment plan supports your lifestyle and estate goals.

Financial advisers can also help families compare whether government support through the Support at Home Program (for care at home) or residential care is the better fit for their needs.

Placement consultants – finding the right aged care home

The process of finding and choosing an aged care home can be time-consuming, especially when care needs are urgent.

Aged care placement consultants or care concierges can:

» Assess care needs and personal preferences.

» Identify and shortlist suitable aged care homes.

» Coordinate tours, paperwork, and admission.

» Help negotiate room prices and service inclusions.

» Connect families with available vacancies faster through established provider networks.

Placement services operate across Victoria can be especially helpful if you live interstate or have limited time to manage the search yourself.

Legal considerations

Before entering aged care, it’s important to ensure your legal documents are current.

Aged care lawyers or elder law specialists can assist with:

» Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) –appointing someone to make financial or legal decisions on your behalf.

» Advance Care Directive – recording your healthcare wishes and preferred treatments.

» Wills and estate planning – ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

It’s best to review these documents before admission so decisions can be made smoothly if health changes occur.

Victoria note

In Victoria, you’ll find a growing network of aged care placement services, legal professionals, and financial planners who specialise in aged-care advice.

All national programs - including the Support at Home Program and the Single Assessment System - operate the same way in Victoria as in other states.

Helpful information

Aged care decisions can feel overwhelming. Seek advice from more than one source to make sure your decisions suit your personal circumstances.

Professional advice can help you plan for both the financial and emotional sides of moving into care.

Finding and choosing an aged care home

Finding the right aged care home is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The goal is to find a place that meets the individual’s care needs, lifestyle preferences, and comfort – now and into the future.

Start

Complete assessment

Before approaching providers:

You’ll need to have completed an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System.

This assessment determines eligibility for government-subsidised residential care and provides:

» an approval record,

» a support plan, and

» fee and contribution information from Services Australia.

You can apply for an assessment through My Aged Care

1

Search for providers

From page 120 of this guide, you can find Victoria aged care providers listed by region.

You can also:

» Ask your assessor for referrals to nearby homes.

» Use your referral code to search via the My Aged Care Find a provider tool.

» Call the My Aged Care Contact Centre for additional guidance.

» Cultural and diverse needs – Whether the home can support specific cultural, religious, or language preferences.

» Availability – Whether the home has current or future vacancies.

What to remember when choosing aged care in Victoria

Victoria’s aged care landscape is uniquely diverse, spanning metropolitan Melbourne, regional centres such as Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, and rural communities across Gippsland and the Mallee. The state offers a wide range of residential aged care options, including Supported Residential Services (SRSs), which operate outside the Commonwealth aged care system.

Choosing the right home goes beyond availability and should suit health needs, lifestyle preferences, cultural background, budget and location. Below are key Victorianspecific considerations.

1 Melbourne metro vs regional Victoria

Greater Melbourne has the highest concentration of aged care homes, offering a wide mix of providers, premium facilities, culturally specific services, and specialist dementia and palliative care. In regional centres such as Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Warrnambool, Mildura and Gippsland, homes are often community-based, but choice may be more limited and waitlists longer – particularly for dementia-specific or extra services rooms. In rural or remote areas, aged care homes play a central community role but may have limited vacancies or on-site clinical services, making early waitlisting important.

2 Access to Victorian health services

Victoria has a strong public and private hospital network, particularly in Melbourne, though access varies in regional and rural areas.

When comparing homes, consider:

» Proximity to hospitals or urgent care

» Access to GPs, medical specialists and allied health services (physio, OT, podiatry)

» How the home manages rehabilitation, ongoing treatment and hospital transfers In smaller towns, ask how often specialists visit and what after-hours medical support is available.

3 Supported Residential Services (SRSs)

Victoria is the only state with Supported Residential Services (SRSs) – privately operated accommodation that provides daily living support but is not funded or regulated under the Commonwealth aged care system.

SRSs may suit people who:

» Need daily support but not full clinical care

» Prefer a more social, home-like environment

» Want greater flexibility and independence

» Cannot access a Home Care Package or residential aged care place

Services and costs vary widely. SRSs are regulated under Victorian law, with fees set by operators. When comparing SRSs, ask about:

» Personal care and medication assistance

» Staffing levels

» Extra charges (e.g. laundry, activities)

» Emergency and evacuation planning

SRSs can be suitable for short- or long-term moderate support needs.

4 Cultural, linguistic and inclusive care

Victoria’s cultural diversity is reflected in aged care services, with many homes offering:

» Culturally specific programs (e.g. Greek, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese)

» Multilingual staff

» Religious or spiritual support

» Tailored menus and activities

Some providers also specialise in:

» LGBTQIA+ inclusive care

» Holocaust survivor support

» First Nations culturally safe care

If cultural or language needs are important, ask about tailored programs and community partnerships.

5 Regulation and oversight in Victoria

Aged care homes in Victoria must meet the national Aged Care Quality Standards and are regulated by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. Additional Victorian considerations include:

» State emergency and bushfire safety requirements

» Local council regulations (for some services)

» Stronger oversight of SRSs under Victorian legislation

Comparison tools such as Aged Care Guide can help assess accreditation, compliance history, resident feedback, services, pricing and room types.

Location-based demand and competition for rooms

Demand for aged care varies across Victoria. High-demand areas include:

» Melbourne’s eastern suburbs

» Mornington Peninsula

» Geelong and the Surf Coast

» Inner-north suburbs (e.g. Brunswick, Northcote)

» Large regional centres such as Ballarat and Bendigo

These areas often have longer waitlists, higher RAD/DAP costs and stronger competition for memory support places. Outer metropolitan and rural areas may offer greater availability but fewer premium options.

Starting early, arranging tours and joining multiple waitlists can improve choice and timing.

Sell your home ‘stress-free’

Having made the decision to leave the family home and enter aged care or a retirement village is never easy. For many, the biggest challenge is knowing where to begin with selling the home – and how to do it without added stress.

Most people use a real estate agent to sell their property. This allows you to benefit from their market knowledge and experience with pricing, marketing, inspections, and buyer negotiations. However, there is another layer of support that can significantly ease the process – particularly during emotional or complex transitions like aged care.

Vendor Advocates

Vendor advocates (or seller advocates) act on your behalf throughout the entire sales journey, helping you make confident, informed decisions – especially when time, distance, or emotional load make it hard to manage alone.

A vendor advocate will:

» Assess your property’s worth and advise on the best method of sale

» Interview and shortlist agents based on your needs

» Negotiate commissions, marketing fees, and contract terms on your behalf

» Oversee campaign progress and de-jargon feedback.

» Help coordinate repairs, styling, or cleaning if needed

» Keep the real estate agent accountable at every stage

They are independent from the agent and buyer, and their goal is to ensure your needs are front and centre. Because their fee is usually taken from the agent’s commission (not an extra cost to you), many families find this option both supportive and cost-effective. Whether you’re acting as Power of Attorney, selling on behalf of a family member, or simply trying to navigate a stressful life change – a vendor advocate helps simplify the process, protect your interests, and maximise your sale price.

How to sell without stress –helpful tips

q Do your research – what is the house really worth?

q Think about presentation – will it be styled, furnished, or vacant?

q Choose your sale method carefully –auction, private sale, or expressions of interest?

q Appoint a vendor advocate if you’d like someone independent and on your side.

q Seek professional advise from a financial and legal advisor.

q Research capital gains tax (CGT) to ensure that you are complying with Australian tax laws.

For many families, the added reassurance of having a vendor advocate manage the sale –from agent selection through to settlement – brings peace of mind during an already challenging time.

What is respite care?

Respite care provides short-term support for older people when their usual carer needs a break or temporary help is required after illness, injury, or a hospital stay.

It ensures both the older person and their carer can rest, recover, and stay well.

Respite care can be provided:

» in your own home,

» at a community respite centre, or

» in a residential aged care home.

Who can access respite care?

From 1 November 2025, respite care is part of the national Support at Home Program.

To access subsidised respite, you must:

» be an older Australian who needs assistance with everyday activities, and

» have completed an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System confirming eligibility.

This applies whether you live at home, with family, or are temporarily in hospital.

If you haven’t yet been assessed, call My Aged Care (1800 200 422) or apply online to arrange an assessment.

Victoria note

Respite care in Victoria follows the same national rules as other states under the Support at Home Program.

Local not-for-profit, government, and private providers deliver respite, including at-home and residential options.

You can compare availability and services at agedcareguide.com.au/compare or speak with your local provider network.

Helpful tip

Even if you’re not ready to use respite care now, consider registering with My Aged Care early. Having an assessment completed means you can access help faster when it’s needed.

Types of respite

Planned respite

Pre-booked breaks that give carers regular rest or time for other commitments. These can occur at home, in day centres, or residential homes.

Emergency respite

Available at short notice if a carer becomes unwell or unable to provide care.

My Aged Care or Carer Gateway (1800 422 737) can help you find emergency options.

Post-hospital respite

For people recovering from illness, surgery, or injury. Often arranged while long-term supports are being finalised.

How much respite you can receive

You can receive up to 63 days of subsidised respite care each financial year, with possible extensions depending on your situation and carer needs.

This limit applies nationally under the Support at Home Program.

How to arrange respite care

1. Get assessed – Call My Aged Care (1800 200 422) or apply online for an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System.

2. Search for providers – Use the Aged Care Guide or Find a provider tool to locate services with availability.

3. Book care – Confirm dates and costs directly with your chosen provider.

If you need urgent respite, contact Carer Gateway (1800 422 737) or a local hospital social worker.

» For residential respite (aged-care home), you’ll pay a Basic Daily Fee capped at 85% of the single basic Age Pension – a Basic Daily Fee capped at 85% of the single basic Age Pension (indexed in March and September each year). Optional extras may cost more.

Can I access respite care directly from hospital?

Dementia-specific aged care: What to ask

and what to look for

Caring for someone living with dementia can be emotionally, physically and mentally demanding. As the condition progresses, caring at home may become difficult, leading families to consider residential aged care. There’s no single “right” time to make the move, but key signs include changes in behaviour, increased safety concerns, carer burnout, or the person’s needs becoming too complex to manage at home

Making the move

When considering residential care, look for homes that understand dementia and can meet the person’s needs both now and into the future.

All government-funded aged care homes are required under the 2025 Aged Care Quality Standards to provide dementia-inclusive care. This includes staff training, safe and accessible environments, and tailored lifestyle programs for people living with cognitive impairment. Some homes have specialised memory support units or small-scale living areas that promote familiarity and calm. However, quality still varies–ask questions and visit in person whenever possible.

What

to look for on a tour

» Environment: Calm spaces with natural light, clear signage, and minimal clutter or noise.

» Layout: Smaller homes or “household” models (typically 30–60 residents) often work best for people with dementia.

» Bedrooms: Bright, comfortable, and able to accommodate familiar personal items to create a sense of home.

» Safety: Secure outdoor areas, locked external doors, and unobstructed walkways.

Ask whether residents can bring personal furniture, hang photos, or have a phone line in their room.

Dementia-specific aged care: What to ask and what

to look for

Cont’d

Questions

to ask

» Can residents stay if their condition changes or behaviours become more challenging?

» What dementia-care training do staff complete, and how often?

» Are there specific activities or sensory programs for residents with dementia?

» How does the team manage agitation or “sundowning” in the late afternoon?

» Are families involved in care planning and reviews?

Homes that specialise in dementia care usually offer personalised programs, trained staff, and secure, calm environments designed for wellbeing.

Helpful tip

Bring a printed Aged Care Guide Nursing Home

Checklist to your visits. It helps you compare environments, activities, and staff culture to ensure the best possible fit for your loved one.

Staying

involved Transitioning from a hands-on carer to a supportive family partner can be challenging. Share information about your loved one’s routines, preferences, and calming strategies with the care team. The more staff know, the more consistent and person-centred care they can provide.

Remember that small issues are normal during transition. Communicate early and openly with the Clinical or Facility Manager if concerns arise.

Victoria note

Victorian providers follow the same national dementia-care and assessment requirements as other states.

You can use the Find a provider tool on agedcareguide.com.au to view homes with memory support units or dementia-specialised accreditation.

Access & support You’ll need an aged care assessment under the Single Assessment System to access government-subsidised residential care.

Emergency respite or short-term private care may be available while waiting for an assessment. Some people enter residential care directly after a hospital stay, but eligibility still requires assessment unless it’s an emergency placement.

Aged care fees are changing: What you need to know from 1 November 2025

From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government is introducing a new way of funding aged care homes. The aim is to make fees fairer, easier to understand, and more aligned with the real cost of care. Who will this affect? These changes apply to new residents entering aged care on or after 1 November 2025. If you’re already in care before this date, your existing fee structure stays the same unless you move and sign a new agreement.

What’s changing? A simplified structure will group fees into two main categories:

1 Contributions for Everyday Living Costs

These cover daily services like meals, laundry, cleaning, and gardening.

Basic Daily Fee (BDF): All residents pay this to help cover general living expenses.

Hotelling Supplement:

» Currently paid fully by the government.

» From 1 November, residents who can afford it will contribute.

» The government continues to pay the rest, or all of it for those who can’t afford to contribute.

2 Contributions for Non-Clinical Care

This includes personal support like bathing, dressing, mobility, and activities.

Non-Clinical Care Contribution (NCCC):

» A new means-tested fee based on income and assets.

» Applies only to non-clinical care. Clinical care will be fully government-funded.

» People who can’t afford it won’t be asked to contribute.

Caps and Protections:

» Daily cap: No more than $101.16/day (indexed).

» Lifetime cap: $135,318.69 (indexed) OR 4 years (1460 cumulative days), whichever occurs first.

» Contributions under the Support at Home Program count toward the lifetime cap.

3

Higher Everyday Living Fee (Optional Services)

Homes can offer premium extras like upgraded meals or wine. These are optional and charged as Higher Everyday Living Fees – you choose whether to pay for them.

What should I do now?

» Plan ahead: If you’re considering aged care later this year, be aware costs will change.

» Get assessed: Services Australia can help determine what you may need to contribute.

» Stay informed: Fees are indexed and may change over time.

Estimate Costs

Use the Aged Care Guide Calculator to get a personalised cost estimate.

Home is where comfort and independence meet – with the right support, you don’t have to do it alone.

What are the first steps when finding home care?

Starting the journey to organise home care for yourself or a loved one can feel overwhelming – but you’re not alone. Whether you’re looking for government-funded services or private help at home, knowing where to begin makes the process much more manageable.

1

Understand what home care is

Home care supports older Australians to stay independent in their own home for longer. Services can include:

» Help with cleaning, cooking or showering

» Transport to appointments

» Nursing or allied health support

» Social connection and companionship

You can choose government-funded home care or pay for services privately. Many people do a mix of both.

2 Check your eligibility

To access government-funded home care, you need to:

» Be 65 or older (50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people), or

» Be younger with a disability, dementia, or other complex needs

You must complete a free assessment through My Aged Care, the Government’s aged care gateway.

Use Aged Care Guide to find and compare trusted providers near you. (scan QR code)

Note: A new government program Support at Home commenced on 1 November 2025, replacing Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme continues and will transition no earlier than 1 July 2027.

Contributions and access to services may change for new recipients after that date. Visit: agedcareguide.com.au/fees for the latest updates.

3 Get assessed

Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or apply online at myagedcare.gov.au to organise an assessment.

There are two main types:

» RAS (Regional Assessment Service) – for basic support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

» ACAT/ACAS Assessment – for more complex needs, including Home Care Packages

An assessor will visit your home to talk through your situation and decide which level of care you’re eligible for.

4 Waitlists and timing

For CHSP, services may start quite quickly. For Home Care Packages, there is usually a waitlist – from several weeks to over 12 months depending on the level of support and where you live.

You’ll receive a letter from My Aged Care confirming your approved care level and your place in the national queue.

5 Choose a provider

Once approved, you can begin comparing home care providers based on:

» Services offered

» Costs and fees

» Availability in your area

» Reputation and customer reviews

What services are available with my Support at Home package?

Support at Home services are designed to help older Australians stay independent at home for as long as possible. Depending on your assessed needs and approved budget level under the Support at Home program, services can include:

Support at Home services

» Personal care (help with showering, dressing, grooming)

» Cleaning, laundry, and household help

» Meal preparation

» Transport to appointments or social activities

Costs of home care explained

While Home Care Packages are subsidised by the Australian Government, you may still be asked to contribute toward the cost of your care depending on your financial situation. There are three types of fees you might pay:

Care and Support Contribution

You’ll contribute a means-tested percentage of the service cost, based on your income and assets. There is no set daily fee under Support at Home. Some clinical services remain fully funded, while everyday living supports have moderate to higher co-contributions.

Independence and Everyday Living Contribution

This is a percentage-based contribution toward the cost of independence and everyday-living services where the amount depends on your income and assets.

This contribution replaces the old “income-tested care fee” from the Home Care Package system

Additional fees

For extra services outside the package funding (e.g., higher-end equipment or private services).

Check your contribution estimate

Your Support at Home contributions are protected by a lifetime cap (indexed in March and September). Services Australia will notify you (and your provider) of any contribution amounts that apply based on your income and assets.

Learn more or check your contribution estimate at myagedcare.gov.au

Important Update:

From 1 November 2025, Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care. Fees and contributions are pay-as-you-use and depend on the service type and your means assessment. For the latest official details, visit myagedcare.gov.au

Caring for ageing parents? Don’t forget to care for yourself

Caring for ageing parents is one of the most meaningful things you can do – but let’s be honest, it can also be exhausting. The physical demands, the emotional toll, the guilt of not doing “enough” - it all adds up.

If you’re in this role, you’re not alone. And while your focus is on your loved one, it’s just as important to look after yourselfemotionally and physically.

Start with the heart

Let yourself feel. It’s okay to be overwhelmed, frustrated, or sad. Talk to someone - a friend, a counsellor, another carer. You don’t need to carry this all on your own.

Consider writing a diary or even taking a quiet moment each day to breathe and centre yourself. These small acts of self-kindness can go a long way.

Keep moving, stay strong

Even a 20-minute walk can clear your head. Stretch while the kettle boils. Choose food that fuels you. You don’t need a gym – just small, steady steps to keep your body going as strong as your heart.

And sleep. Please don’t trade it away. Without rest, everything feels harder.

How to compare home care providers after you’ve been assigned a package

From 1 November 2025, in-home care is delivered under Support at Home.

If you previously had a Home Care Package (HCP), you move across automatically. You do not re-apply. Your budget now follows Support at Home rules. CHSP continues separately and will transition later (no earlier than 1 July 2027).

If you’ve recently been approved for the Support at Home program then the next step is to choose a provider to manage your budget and deliver the services you need to stay safe and independent at home. But not all providers are the same, and their pricing, flexibility and service models can vary.

Here’s what to look out for, and what’s considered standard vs optional when it comes to costs.

Step 1: Match services to your needs

Start by identifying what support you need: personal care, help around the house, nursing, transport, or social outings. Some providers are better with complex care, others focus on companionship and wellness.

Step 2: Understand the fees: What’s normal vs optional?

Important note for 2025: Under Support at Home, providers must publish clear standard prices (often bundled or itemised differently from HCP-era fee structures). Use the table below as a comparison aid only and always request a onepage monthly example showing your total hours of care and any out-of-pocket costs.

Tip: Ask how they’ll tailor services to your care plan and if they’re able to adapt as your needs change.

Fee Type

Care management fee

Package management fee

Hourly rates

Exit fees

Set-up or onboarding fee

Top-up or private fees

What’s

Often shown as a coordination component (previously ~15–20% under HCP).

May be bundled into service rates or shown lower.

Previously shown as 10–15% under HCP. May be capped, reduced or absorbed.

Commonly around $55–$75/hr for personal care, cleaning, nursing, etc.

Historically up to $500.

Sometimes a one-off to start services.

Optional if you need more support than your budget covers.

Rates vary –ask for a full price list.

Many have removed this.

Often waived to attract new clients.

Flexible private-pay options available.

Tip: Look beyond percentages. Ask, “How many direct care hours will I get each month after all costs?”

(Background on the new pricing approach: providers set and publish reasonable, transparent prices under Support at Home.) myagedcare.gov.au

Cont’d

Step 3:

Look for flexibility

Can you choose your own support worker? Will they use your preferred physiotherapist or cleaner? Providers who offer flexibility and control usually deliver a more personalised experience.

Step 4:

Check for cultural fit & reputation

Ask friends or family for recommendations, read reviews, and speak with providers about language or cultural preferences. A good provider will listen and tailor your plan.

Step 5:

It’s OK to change providers

You’re not locked in. If the fit isn’t right, you can switch. Your arrangements move with you and a new provider can support the transition.

Technology and tools to help you stay home longer.

A guide to home safety & modifications for older people

Home safety and smart modifications are important considerations to remain independent for longer.

As we age, our homes should continue to be a place of comfort, not risk. But everyday activities – like getting in and out of the shower, climbing stairs, or simply reaching up into a cupboard – can become more difficult and potentially dangerous over time. That’s why home safety and smart modifications are important considerations to remain independent for longer.

Common home hazards

Even the most familiar home can present safety risks. Here are some of the most common concerns:

» Slippery floors, especially in bathrooms or kitchens

» Poor lighting, which increases the risk of tripping or falls

» Steps or uneven surfaces at entrances or within rooms

» Cluttered spaces that limit movement or access to mobility aids

» Hard-to-reach storage that requires bending or stretching

» Bathrooms without rails or seating, which can become high-risk zones

A professional home safety assessment can help identify which modifications may reduce these risks and support your mobility and wellbeing.

Types of home modifications

Home modifications can range from basic equipment to major structural changes, depending on the needs of the individual.

Simple modifications

» Grab rails in bathrooms, toilets, or along hallways

» Non-slip flooring or floor mats

» Shower chairs, hand-held shower heads

» Lever-style door handles and tap turners

» Ramps or threshold wedges for easier entry

Complex modifications

» Bathroom renovations (e.g. walk-in showers, raised toilets)

» Stair lifts or platform lifts

» Kitchen redesign for accessibility

» Widened doorways for mobility equipment These changes don’t just support safety –they promote independence and dignity.

A guide to home safety & modifications for older people

What funding is available?

The Australian Government offers financial support for eligible seniors through several programs:

1. Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

» For older people needing entry-level support to remain at home

» Geat2GO initiative provides up to $2,500 per year for essential home modifications and assistive technology

» Covers equipment such as handrails, ramps, mobility aids, and bathroom modifications

» Requires a My Aged Care assessment (call 1800 200 422)

2. Support at Home

» For those with ongoing care needs replacing HCP and STRC

» Home modifications can be included as part of your care plan, based on safety, mobility, and clinical recommendations

» Must be arranged through your approved provider

3. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)

» Through the Rehabilitation Appliances Program (RAP), eligible veterans can access home modifications and medical equipment

» Requires clinical assessment and approval

4. National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

» For Australians under 65 living with disability

» Funding available for home modifications related to functional needs

5. Local councils and state-based schemes

» Some VIC councils offer small grants or rebates for home safety equipment (e.g., rails, ramps, smoke alarms).

» Safe at Home (Victorian Government) may assist with equipment for medical treatment or mobility.

How to get started

q Get Assessed

» Contact My Aged Care for a home support assessment

» For veterans, speak to your GP or healthcare provider

q Consult an Occupational Therapist (OT)

» OTs recommend modifications tailored to your abilities and home layout

q Choose Trusted Providers

» Work with licensed builders or modification specialists familiar with accessible design

» Ask if they have experience delivering CHSP/HCP-funded services

q Stay Proactive

» Don’t wait until after a fall or hospital stay – early modifications can prevent incidents and preserve independence

A safer home = a longer stay at home

With the right modifications and support, ageing in place can be a safer, more enjoyable experience. Whether it’s a simple grab rail or a full bathroom redesign, government-funded home modifications are designed to help you stay in control of your life – and your home – for as long as possible.

Transitions into aged care: “Am I doing the right thing?”

1 Navigating the emotional transition into aged care – for families and their loved ones

Moving into aged care is never just a logistical decision. For many families, it is a decision wrapped in years of caregiving, emotional highs and lows, and the quiet heartbreak of watching someone you love need more support than you can give. This transition often marks a shift in roles, routines, and relationships – and for both the older person and their family – it can feel like a major life loss before it begins to feel like a new beginning.

2 From the family carer’s perspective

If you’re helping your parent or partner move into aged care, chances are you’ve spent countless hours worrying, researching, and caring for them at home. When the move finally happens, even when it’s the right call, the emotional weight can be overwhelming.

You may experience:

» Guilt – “Should I have tried harder?” “Could we have kept them home a bit longer?”

» Relief – followed by shame for feeling that way

» Grief – a sense of loss for what life used to be

» Stress and fatigue – from juggling family, finances, logistics, and decisions

» Disconnection – from a role that once defined your daily life These feelings are deeply human. Loving someone doesn’t mean doing everything alone – it means doing what’s best for their care, even when it’s hard.

3 From the older person’s perspective

For the person moving into care, the emotional toll can be quiet but profound. It can feel like a loss of control. A shift from home to facility. From being independent to being “looked after.” Even when care is excellent, the transition can challenge a person’s identity and sense of purpose.

Common emotional responses include:

» Grief – for their home, their freedom, even their former self

» Fear – of what this next stage holds

» Loneliness – surrounded by strangers, routines, and rules

» Loss of autonomy – meals at set times, limited say in daily decisions

» A quiet sadness – the unspoken realisation that this might be their final move

4 Self-determination, even in care

Psychologists refer to Self-Determination Theory, which says people thrive when three basic needs are met:

» Autonomy – the ability to make choices

» Competence – the ability to do things that matter

» Relatedness – feeling connected to others

A move into care can challenge all three. But with the right support, these needs don’t have to disappear – they just need to be reimagined

5 How to support a dignified, meaningful transition

Whether you’re a family member or a care worker, small things can make a huge difference in preserving a person’s identity, dignity, and wellbeing during this vulnerable transition.

» Involve them in decisions – Let them choose the facility, help pack, pick their bedding or photos for the room. Small choices are powerful.

» Preserve routines – Morning tea at 10am? A daily walk at 4? These rituals can anchor a person in unfamiliar surroundings.

» Celebrate their independence –Encourage them to speak up, move freely, participate in activities, and set their own pace.

» Be present, but not overbearing –Regular visits, shared meals, or phone calls help maintain connection – but also allow space to adapt.

» Name the emotions – Grief, fear, anger, guilt – they’re all valid. Normalising these feelings helps everyone process them more gently.

6 A new chapter, with compassion

This may be a new chapter – but it doesn’t have to be a loss of self. With empathy, honesty, and support, families and older people can navigate this transition together, not as the end of something, but the beginning of a different kind of care. One still rooted in love, dignity, and connection.

Grieving before they’re gone

1 Understanding the silent grief of dementia

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, the grief often begins long before the final goodbye. It’s a quiet, confusing kind of mourning – because they’re still here, but slowly slipping away. This experience, sometimes called “ambiguous loss” or “anticipatory grief”, affects many families and carers. It can be difficult to name, harder to explain, and even harder to process – because the person you love is still alive, yet no longer the version you once knew.

2 What does this grief feel like?

Grieving someone with dementia often comes in waves. It can begin with the diagnosis, swell as memories fade, and continue as personalities shift and daily conversations become harder.

You may grieve:

» The loss of shared memories or conversations.

» Their former personality or sense of humour.

» Their independence and decisionmaking.

» Your own role in the relationship (partner, child, friend, carer).

And this grief often carries guilt: “How can I grieve someone who is still alive?” or “I should be grateful they’re still here.”

3 The Science of “ambiguous loss”

Coined by Dr Pauline Boss, ambiguous loss refers to the type of loss that occurs without closure or certainty. Dementia fits this definition painfully well – the person is physically present, but psychologically altered. Unlike other kinds of loss, this one offers no clear endpoint, no ritual, no social permission to grieve.

Research shows that carers of people with dementia often experience:

» Higher rates of prolonged or complicated grief.

» Increased emotional exhaustion and burnout.

» Feelings of isolation, especially when friends don’t understand the slow, living loss.

Understanding that what you’re feeling is grief – real, valid grief – can be the first step toward healing.

4

The stages of grief – when goodbye takes years

The five stages of grief – originally outlined by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross – don’t always follow a straight line, especially with dementia. But they can still help make sense of what you may be feeling:

1. Denial – “Maybe it’s just forgetfulness.”

2. Anger – “This isn’t fair. They don’t deserve this.”

3. Bargaining – “If I just try harder to connect, maybe they’ll come back.”

4. Depression – “I miss them. And they’re right in front of me.”

5. Acceptance – “They are still here in new ways. I can love them differently now.”

You might cycle through these stages again and again. That’s normal.

5 Ways to cope with living grief

» Acknowledge the grief – It’s real, and it deserves your compassion.

» Seek support – Counselling, carer groups, or online forums can offer relief.

» Create new moments – Focus on connection, even when words are few.

» Celebrate small wins – A smile, a laugh, a moment of clarity.

» Take breaks without guilt – You can love deeply and still need space.

Support services

They are still here – and so are you

Grieving someone with dementia is complex and lasting. It’s okay to feel heartbroken, tired, and grateful all at once. What matters most is that they feel loved – and that you care for yourself, too.

Talking about ageing, changing needs, and care – with compassion and courage.

Conversations about ageing or shifting independence can feel overwhelming. But avoiding them can lead to confusion, missed opportunities, and unspoken wishes. Whether you’re a partner, child, or the older person yourself, gently weaving these talks into daily life can build shared understanding and peace of mind.

1 Tips to approach the conversation:

» Choose the right moment –quiet and comfortable helps

» Lead with love –“I want us to plan together”

» Be specific – “After the fall, I’ve thought more about support”

» Listen with patience and openness

These conversations are about dignity –and they can strengthen connection.

2

Let’s talk about the inevitable – gently:

Talking about death won’t make it happen but silence can prevent us from honouring wishes or preparing well.

These talks are about showing up for one another.

3 Why it’s worth it:

» Reduces fear and confusion

» Respects emotional, cultural, or spiritual needs

» Lightens the load on loved ones

Just starting the conversation matters.

Forward planning with purpose

Forward planning means your wishes are clear – and your loved ones are supported.

Legacy, funeral planning & honouring a life

Talking about death isn’t easy – but planning ahead can ease the burden for everyone. It’s not just about logistics or legalities. It’s about honouring a life well lived and making sure that, when the time comes, things are carried out with care and clarity.

Why planning matters

Just as we plan for a birth or a wedding, planning for end-of-life helps loved ones feel more prepared and less overwhelmed. Whether it’s choosing between a burial or cremation, deciding on music or readings, or documenting preferences for a memorial, having these conversations early ensures wishes are respected.

A personal legacy

Legacy is more than just paperwork – it’s about stories, values and memories. Many people choose to leave a personal mark: writing letters to loved ones, recording a short video, creating a memory book or nominating a cause for donations in their name. These are simple but meaningful ways to leave behind something lasting.

Funeral planning basics

You don’t need to know all the answers, but a few early decisions can make a big difference. Consider:

» Appointing someone to manage your funeral arrangements.

» Pre-selecting a funeral director or service.

» Documenting music, poems, or religious/ cultural preferences.

» Noting if you’d prefer a smaller private ceremony or public celebration.

Prepaid funeral plans are also an option, offering financial and emotional relief for families later.

Support when it’s needed

For those supporting a loved one through this process, grief can begin long before the final goodbye. Take time to talk, listen and ask what’s important to them. When the time comes, having a plan already in place allows families to focus on what matters most – being there for each other.

Preparing for the end doesn’t mean giving up –it means showing up, with love and intention.

Planning ahead: Advance Care Planning (ACP)

Making sure your voice is heard, even if you can’t speak for yourself

Advance Care Planning is all about making your healthcare wishes known before you’re ever in a situation where you can’t make decisions yourself – such as during a serious illness or after a medical emergency.

It gives you the opportunity to say what matters to you, and it gives your loved ones peace of mind knowing they’re doing what you would want.

What is an Advance Care Directive?

An Advance Care Directive (ACD) is the legal document you complete as part of your planning. It outlines:

» The types of treatment you would or wouldn’t want (like life support, CPR, or feeding tubes).

» Your preferences for comfort and care (such as pain relief, staying at home, or cultural/religious wishes).

» Who you want to make decisions for you if you’re unable to.

Do I need one?

You don’t have to have one, but it’s strongly encouraged – especially if:

» You’re moving into aged care.

» You’re managing a long-term illness or dementia.

» You simply want to stay in control of your future healthcare.

Aged care homes will usually ask about this when you move in. While it’s not required by law, it helps staff deliver care that respects your values and choices.

How do I get one?

You can start the process by:

» Talking to your doctor or aged care provider.

» Visiting advancecareplanning.org.au to download forms for your state or territory.

» Appointing a trusted person to act on your behalf (often called a substitute decisionmaker or enduring guardian).

Things to include in your plan:

» “If I can’t recognise my family, I want comfort care only.”

» “I would want every medical treatment if there’s a chance of recovery.”

» “I’d like music or prayer during my care.”

» “I do not want to be transferred to hospital unless necessary.”

Advance Care Planning helps you stay in charge of your care – even when life doesn’t go to plan. It’s not just about preparing for the end – it’s about protecting your values and giving your loved ones confidence in doing what’s right for you.

Funerals: A thoughtful approach to planning ahead

Why pre-planning matters

Choosing a funeral director early means your wishes, or those of your loved one, are respected and carried out without urgency. It also ensures key details - such as burial or cremation preferences, cultural or religious practices, and service arrangements - are documented and communicated in advance.

Choosing the right Funeral Director

Recommendations matter: Ask friends, family, aged care staff or your GP for referrals.

Services provided: Ask what’s includedtransport, paperwork, service coordination, viewing, or cultural rituals.

When moving into an aged care home, families are often asked whether a funeral director has been nominated. While it may feel confronting, having these details organised in advance can ease emotional and practical pressure when the time comes. Making decisions during a time of grief can be overwhelming - planning ahead gives families clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Communication & care: Choose someone who listens, explains clearly, and offers compassionate support.

Transparency on costs: Request a full itemised quote and clarify which services are optional.

Cultural & personal fit: Make sure they can honour spiritual, cultural or family preferences. Use the directory: Aged Care Guide

What happens after a resident passes away?

When a resident passes away in an aged care home, the staff will contact the nominated next of kin and, if a funeral director has been selected, arrange for them to be notified. The home will typically assist with initial paperwork and provide time for family and friends to visit, say goodbye, and begin making arrangements.

Since 1891, families have trusted us to walk beside them through life’s most tender moments. Joseph Le Pine began in Richmond as a skilled carpenter, crafting coffins with care and compassion. Together with his family, he built a legacy of service and understanding.

Today, that legacy lives on in 20 funeral homes across Melbourne, offering guidance and support that extends well beyond the funeral. Every life is unique, and every farewell deserves dignity. Our devoted team creates spaces for reflection and tradition, honouring all cultures with warmth, respect and heartfelt care when it matters most.

We honour tradition while embracing progress, guided by expertise and deep community connection. When families turn to us, they find more than funeral directors, they find trusted hands and open hearts. Because at Le Pine, caring isn’t what we do. It’s who we are.

We have funeral homes across metropolitan Melbourne and provide funeral services to all surrounding areas in Victoria.

A trusted farewell for every family, every culture.

At Le Pine Funerals, a farewell is never just a service; it’s a tribute to a life lived, a legacy left behind, and a family’s final act of love.

For over 130 years, families across Melbourne have turned to us for support, guidance and care during life’s most difficult moments.

We’re proud to serve all communities with dignity and cultural understanding; from Catholic and Orthodox services to Buddhist, Hindu, and contemporary farewells. Many people choose to plan ahead, not just for peace of mind, but to make sure their wishes are known and respected. Others come to us during a time of need, seeking compassion and clarity.

In both cases, we’re here 24 hours a day, every day. With 20 locations across Melbourne, our team at Le Pine Funerals are your neighbors. We offer dedicated spaces and help you create the perfect farewell for your loved one.

Visit lepinefunerals.com.au to learn more or call your local team and arrange to meet one of our local and dedicated professionals.

Planning ahead: Wills, powers of attorney & enduring guardianship

Protecting

your choices, values and future wellbeing

As we age, having the right legal documents in place helps ensure your wishes are followed – and it takes pressure off your loved ones during difficult times.

There are two main areas to plan for:

» Your money and property

» Your healthcare and lifestyle decisions

Here’s a guide to the most important tools:

Enduring power of attorney (financial)

» What it does: Lets you appoint someone you trust to manage your money and property – such as paying bills, accessing bank accounts, or selling assets if needed.

» When it takes effect: You choose. It can start immediately or only if you lose capacity.

» Why it matters: Without this, no one –not even your partner – can legally access your finances unless they apply to the courts.

Enduring power of attorney (medical) (note: varies by state)

» What it does: Allows someone to make healthcare and medical treatment (and financial matters, if you choose) decisions on your behalf.

» Where it applies: Used in some states such as Victoria and Queensland.

» Why it matters: Ensures someone who understands your values can make informed decisions if you’re unable to speak for yourself.

What does an executor of a will do?

Understanding how this role differs from Powers of Attorney and Guardianship. An executor is the person named in a will to carry out the wishes of someone after they have died. It’s a role that only begins after death, and it is different from the role of Enduring Power of Attorney, which apply while someone is still alive but may have lost capacity.

The Executor’s key responsibilities:

» Locate and secure the will

» Apply for probate, if required (a legal process confirming the will is valid)

» Arrange the funeral (if not already planned or prepaid)

» Notify banks, Centrelink, super funds, and other institutions

» Identify and value assets and debts

» Distribute the estate according to the will

» Manage tax returns and financial closures

» Deal with disputes or legal claims against the estate

It’s a job that can take months, sometimes over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate.

Executor vs. power of attorney: What’s the difference?

Role

When it applies

Executor After death

Enduring power of attorney

While the person is alive (but lacks capacity)

What it covers

Carries out the will, distributes estate, finalises legal/financial matters

Manages finances, banking, property decisions

Who should you choose?

The executor should be someone:

» You trust to act responsibly

» Who is organised, willing, and emotionally prepared

» Ideally, not much older than you. Many people choose a family member, close friend, or solicitor. You can also appoint joint executors if needed.

Key things to know

» You can appoint different or the same people for each role

» These roles are legally binding and remain in effect if you lose capacity –unlike general powers of attorney.

» Rules vary by state, so check local requirements or speak to a solicitor.

» Make sure your appointed decision-makers know your wishes and have access to the documents when needed.

Putting these documents in place now protects your independence and peace of mind.

Understanding retirement living: How it works and what it costs

How do you enter a retirement village?

Moving into a retirement village is typically a private arrangement – not subsidised by the government. You’ll usually pay an entry contribution, which can vary widely depending on the village and location.

While it might feel like buying a home, you’re usually entering into a lease or licence agreement rather than owning the property outright.

Retirement living is an increasingly popular option for older Australians who are ready to downsize, want more lifestyle, and less home maintenance - all while staying independent. But how does it actually work? And what does it cost?

What is retirement living?

Retirement villages are purpose – built communities for older people, offering private dwellings with access to communal facilities like gardens, clubhouses, or social activities. They’re designed for people who can live independently, but who want connection and support close by.

For example, you might pay $450,000 to move into a two-bedroom unit in a retirement village. While living there, you’ll pay a weekly service fee – often around $550–$700 per month –to cover things like gardening, maintenance, security and communal facilities.

When you leave, the village operator will deduct an exit fee (also called a deferred management fee) from your original entry payment. This is commonly 30%–35% of your entry price, calculated over a set period (e.g. 10% per year over three years).

In this case, if your original contribution was $450,000, you might receive around $292,500 back after a 35% exit fee is applied.

Every village has a different financial model, so it’s essential to read the contract carefully, ask questions, and seek advice before signing.

Understanding retirement living: How it works and what it costs

Cont’d

What if you need more help over time?

You don’t need to move out the moment you need extra support. Many people in retirement villages apply for a Home Care Package – a government-subsidised service that can bring help right to your door. Whether it’s cleaning, meals, transport or personal care, these services can help you stay in your unit and remain independent for longer.

A continuum of care

If you’re lucky, some modern villages now offer a continuum of care – meaning they include aged care homes on-site or nearby. This setup can make transitions smoother if your needs increase over time, keeping you close to your community and support networks.

In-home care services

From government-funded options like CHSP and DVA programs to private care and specialist services, these tables outline what each provider offers at a glance.

For additional information or to confirm service availability in your area, contact providers directly using the contact details listed, or visit agedcareguide.com.au and search for them by name.

CHSP Funded Services

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) funds providers to deliver entry-level support that helps older people stay at home. Services may include domestic help, transport, nursing, home maintenance, and allied health. Providers must follow CHSP service guidelines to ensure appropriate care.

Private Funding Available

Private funding means paying for home care services directly, without government subsidies. It offers faster access, more provider choice, and flexibility – ideal for those not yet approved for funding, waiting for a package, or needing extra support beyond what’s included in their current plan.

DVA Services

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) supports eligible veterans and their families with a range of in-home care services. These include Veterans’ Home Care (VHC) for basic support, Community Nursing for more complex needs, respite care, and household assistance – to help veterans remain independent at home.

VHC Services

Veterans’ Home Care (VHC), funded by DVA, provides basic in-home help for eligible veterans and dependents. Services include personal care, domestic help, garden and home maintenance, and respite. VHC is best suited for those needing low-level support –not complex or high-care services.

Support at Home

If you’ve been approved for a government-funded Support at Home (SAH), you have the option to choose an approved provider to deliver the care and support you need at home. These services are designed to help you stay safe, comfortable, and independent in your own home for as long as possible. Some providers offer support in just one local area, while others may service a wider region – so it’s worth comparing what’s available near you.

How to use the following pages

On the following pages, you’ll find an alphabetical list of approved Support at Home providers, organised by region to help make your search easier.

To simplify things further, each of the 10 regions has been broken down into local council districts. Use the maps and lists on pages 120-121 as a quick reference to find your region and council group. For example, the Maribyrnong is grouped under Western and colour-coded to match.

A simpler way to search

The directory is arranged in alphabetical order to help you find services quickly and easily. Each provider is listed with a contact phone number – so you can reach out directly and speak to someone without needing to go online.

Should you need more detailed information about any provider, visit agedcareguide.com.au and search for them by name.

Aged Care Homes

The Aged Care Homes tables on the following pages provide an overview of aged care homes in your council district, including key features and services offered by each provider. You’ll find contact details, location information, and indicators such as whether the home offers respite care, dementia support, palliative care, or retirement living onsite. These descriptions are designed to help you quickly identify the services that matter most to you or your loved one.

For more detailed information, contact the provider directly using the phone number listed, or visit agedcareguide.com.au.

Aged Care homes - how to read

Booked Respite Beds

Dedicated respite beds that must be booked in advance. A prior assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) is required.

Extra Services

Accommodation that includes a higher standard of comfort, with added options such as enhanced meals and entertainment, available at an additional cost to the resident.

Pets on Premises

The facility owns pets, such as dogs or cats, that interact with residents. Some facilities may also allow you to bring a small pet with you – check with the provider.

Secure Dementia Unit

A dedicated and secure area within the facility that provides specialised care for people living with dementia.

Secure Garden

A gated outdoor garden space that is safely enclosed, designed for residents – particularly those with dementia – to enjoy recreation or therapeutic activities.

Specialist Palliative Care

Specialised end-of-life care provided within the aged care facility. Staff are trained in pain relief, symptom management, and supporting quality of life during this time.

Transition Care Beds

Short-term care beds that support older people after a hospital stay. These beds offer time and services to help improve independence in a non-hospital environment.

Culturally Specific

Services that support people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. While care is inclusive of everyone, staff have knowledge of specific cultural needs, traditions or languages.

Retirement Living Onsite

Independent retirement living units or a retirement village located on the same site as the aged care facility, offering easy access between levels of care.

Supporting cultural diversity (CALD) and individual needs

For many older Australians, leaving their home to move into residential care is a lifestyle change that can lead to an emotionally challenging experience.

This transition can be more challenging for older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds who require aged care services that respect their cultural, spiritual, dietary and language needs.

With Australia’s ageing and migrant populations growing, aged care providers must be equipped to respond to the diverse needs of older people from CALD backgrounds. Supporting culturally appropriate care has become a key focus of the Australian Government, recognising its positive impact on health and wellbeing.

Cluster facilities

Cluster facilities bring together three or more residents from a similar cultural background, often supported by staff who speak their language.

These services place additional focus on cultural, spiritual, dietary and social needs. The aim of clustering is to:

» Enhance quality of care for residents from CALD backgrounds

» Improve access to residential aged care CALL ONE OF OUR FRIENDLY CARE ADVISORS TODAY.

Choosing the right care at home transforms life for your loved one, and your whole family.

So we are dedicated to providing support and services that make life better for older Australians, and the people who love and care for them. We welcome all to a community built on culture and care with an Italian flair.

189 Faraday Street, Carlton VIC 3053 ph. 03 9349 9007 intake@coasit.com.au agedcare.coasit.com.au

Supporting cultural diversity (CALD) and individual needs

Cont’d

» Support religious, spiritual and culturally significant practices

» Strengthen communication between staff and residents

» Maintain culturally appropriate dietary customs

» Provide relevant social and lifestyle programs

Some culturally specific aged care homes have formal agreements with the Australian Government to meet, wherever possible, the needs of a particular cultural group.

Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care

Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care (PICAC) is a national initiative funded by the Australian Government to improve service delivery for older people from CALD communities.

PICAC supports:

» More providers delivering culturally appropriate care

» Improved access to residential and community care

» Greater capacity for older CALD people to make informed decisions

For PICAC in Victoria, contact the Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing on (03) 8823 7979.

Breaking language barriers

Many Australians speak a language other than English at home. For older people with limited English proficiency, navigating aged care and health services can be complex. Language barriers may affect understanding of diagnoses, treatment options, medication instructions and follow-up care.

Miscommunication can impact informed consent, care planning and satisfaction with services. Relying on family or friends to interpret may lead to misunderstandings or discomfort discussing personal matters. Access to qualified interpreters supports safer, higher quality care and informed decisionmaking. The government-funded Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National) provides 24/7 telephone interpreting in more than 100 languages. Call 131 450.

Supporting cultural diversity (CALD) and individual needs

Special needs groups

The Australian Government recognises certain groups as having ‘special needs’ in aged care. Providers must consider these needs when delivering services:

» Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (ATSI) – Care should reflect

» Care leavers – People who experienced institutional or out-of-home care as children may find aged care distressing. Trauma-informed approaches are important.

» Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people – Services may include bilingual staff, culturally specific activities and spiritual support. The National Ageing and

» Disability – People over 65 receiving NDIS support should visit ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110 for information.

» Financial hardship – If you are unable to pay aged care fees, hardship provisions may allow fees to be reduced or waived.

» People experiencing homelessness – Governmentfunded services can assist with housing, financial and legal support.

» LGBTIQ+ people – The National LGBTI Ageing and Aged Care Strategy aims to ensure equitable access to inclusive aged care services.

» Rural and regional communities – Services may be integrated across health and community sectors to meet local needs.

» Veterans – Recognised as having special needs due to complex medical, emotional and service-related experiences. Contact the Department of Veterans’ Affairs on 1800 838 372 or visit dva.gov.au.
