Midweek Matters: Transitioning to Residential Aged Care

Midweek Matters: Transitioning to Residential Aged Care

Want more information about the residential aged care system, caring for a friend or family member in need or simply curious about what the next stage of life might look like?

Join us for a practical Midweek Matters information session designed to help you make sense of residential aged care in a clear, straightforward way – so you can feel more confident about the available options.

We’ll cover how the aged care system works (including recent changes under the new Aged Care Act from COTA Australia) – as well as your rights, responsibilities and what to expect when it comes to fees and services. You’ll also hear about the role of Aged Care Specialist Officers at Services Australia, the Care Finder program and how COTA ACT can help with practical advice on choosing a residential aged care home that feels right for you or your loved ones.

Whether you’re planning ahead or starting to explore options now, this session will give you helpful information, useful resources and greater peace of mind.

Listen to the presentations, enjoy afternoon tea, connect with others and ask your own questions of our panel of experts.
