Most people come to me after they’ve spent hours on the My Aged Care website and still have no idea what their mum or dad is actually entitled to. Or something has happened – a fall, a hospital stay, a moment that changes things – and suddenly everything feels urgent.

That’s a very normal place to start.

1. Connect

The first step is a conversation.

You book a call with me. There are no forms and nothing to prepare. You just tell me what’s been happening, what’s changed, what you’re worried about, and what you’ve already tried to figure out.

Every situation is different. Sometimes I’m speaking with a family after a hospital stay, when it’s clear things can’t go back to how they were. Other times, someone has been managing for a while, and it’s just becoming too hard. Wherever you’re at, we start there.

My aged care consultancy services begin by understanding your family’s circumstances, so I can guide you towards the support that’s right for you.

2. Consider

After our first conversation, I help you make sense of what’s actually available to you, including the things most families don’t even know to ask about.

As part of my aged care consultancy services, I’ll walk you through your loved one’s entitlements and what government-funded support really looks like in practice. We’ll talk honestly about what staying at home can look like, and what moving into residential care involves, including the costs.

My advice is completely independent. I’m not aligned with any provider and I don’t take referral fees, so you can feel confident that nothing is being steered in a direction that benefits anyone other than your family.

3. Care

You’re always the one making the decisions, but you’re doing it with a clear understanding of the full picture.

From there, you can take things forward yourself, use me as a sounding board along the way, or have me step in and handle things for you. I can support you with the admin, prepare you for assessments, help you choose the right providers, and get services set up properly.

I stay involved for as long as you need. Most families reach clarity, set a plan and move forward within four or five conversations. For some, it takes just one.

What I hear most often afterwards isn’t that we found the perfect option. It’s that families stopped second-guessing themselves and felt confident in the decisions they made.
