The Australian Government’s Care Finder program targets people who require intensive support to engage with My Aged Care and access relevant community support. Care Finders help vulnerable people - who do not have anybody else who can support them – to learn about, apply for and set up support services.
Some older Australians need additional support due to
Communication and language barriers
Difficulty processing information due to cognitive decline
Reluctance to engage with a need for support
Reluctance to engage with government services.
