Topics Covered in This Video Include:
Staying at Home Longer with the Right Support
Recent aged care reforms prioritise helping older Australians remain in their homes for longer. The government is introducing a new 10-tiered home care support system to facilitate this. Jo Newman explains what these changes mean in practice and how to assess the best options for your situation.
Understanding Waiting Lists and Accessing Services
With increasing wait times for both home and residential government-funded care, the session explores strategies to navigate the system more efficiently. Jo shares how Care & Living with Mercer supports families in accessing pre-vetted, high-quality providers that match their location and care needs.
Choosing the Right Aged Care Provider
Not all aged care providers offer the same services or fee structures. This part of the presentation focuses on key factors to consider when selecting a provider—and how the combined support of HPH Solutions and Care & Living with Mercer can help you make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
