Top tips for getting the most out of your home care

Clearly, we hit a nerve!

More than 3,000 people signed up for our Understanding Home Care Packages webinar last week.

And more than 10 per cent of them submitted questions.

If you missed the webinar, or would like to replay it or access the resources, view it now.

Our expert panel did a valiant job of addressing many of your key concerns, such as excessive fees, out-of-pocket expenses and recent changes to the conditions of home care workers, which resulted in 2-hour minimum shifts.

But eventually they ran out of time.

To satisfy demand, OPAN will hold a follow-up Q & A-style session in October, where OPAN financial advocates and other sector specialists will tackle the unanswered questions and take new ones.

Sign up to our e-newsletter to stay tuned.

Our goal is to give you a clearer sense of how home care packages work and to enable you to find the right one for your needs.

We also want you to be confident about where to go for further information.

If you would like a summary of the key points and top tips covered by our experts, download the PDF.

If you would like to talk to someone about a specific aged care issue, you can call one of our advocates on 1800 700 600.
