My Aged Care - how to apply

This social inclusion program is offered through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).

To access this program, individuals aged 65 or over can start by registering with My Aged Care and requesting a social group referral with City of Monash.

Contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au to begin your journey.

After registering, My Aged Care will guide you through a series of questions to assess your specific needs. Subsequently, a referral will be forwarded to the Regional Assessment Service (RAS). RAS will schedule a visit with a Home Support Assessor. During this visit, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your requirements and the services that best cater to your needs.
