Aged Care FAQ’s
Is Aged Care Decisions really free to use?
Yes. Our service is 100% free for families. You will never be charged to use Aged Care Decisions.
We are paid a placement fee by aged care providers when a successful placement is made. This fee is the same for all providers. Providers cannot pay more to receive extra referrals or better placement on our lists.
We do not recommend one provider over another. Our only goal is to help you find the best option based on your individual needs. If none of our providers are the right fit, we will still give you guidance and support to help you continue your search.
There is also no need to worry about providers passing this fee on to you. Under Australian law, aged care providers cannot increase their prices or charge additional fees to cover the placement fee. All fees are regulated by the Aged Care Act 1997.
How is your service different from government resources like My Aged Care?
My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s starting point for accessing aged care. You’ll need to go through them for an assessment and to access government funding for services like home care or residential aged care.
Our service is different – we’re a free and independent support service that helps you:
- Understand what your My Aged Care assessment means
- Compare home care providers or aged care homes that match your needs
- Find out what’s available in your area, including fees, vacancies, and service quality
- Get help fast — often within 24 to 48 hours
How do you select the providers you recommend?
Every provider we recommend must go through a formal onboarding process with our Provider Growth team. This includes a detailed review of their services to ensure they meet our standards and align with the needs of the families we support.
All providers in our network are registered with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission and must agree to our voluntary code of conduct. Not all applicants are accepted. We only work with providers we trust to deliver high-quality care.
We follow a rigorous process to get to know each provider and understand the level of care, accommodation, and support they offer, so when you come to us, we can match you with options that truly suit your needs.
How do I know the aged care homes you recommend are trustworthy?
For your peace of mind, we have developed a voluntary Code of Conduct to regulate our interactions with both the Aged Care industry and the families who use our services.
This Code of Conduct was created to provide transparency in interactions between all Aged Care Decisions staff, partners and associates.
How quickly can I receive a customised options report?
You’ll receive your personalised aged care options report within 20 minutes by email. It’s tailored to your specific needs, including location, care requirements and preferences. From there, you can decide which providers to shortlist and which homes you’d like to visit.
Can you help with urgent aged care placement needs?
Yes, we assist with urgent care options for you or your loved one. Simply call us on 1300 775 870, we’re open 7 days a week.
Will I get help understanding aged care fees and costs?
Absolutely! Our friendly, knowledgeable and experienced team will be able to assist with these questions and more, breaking it all down step-by-step.

Whether it’s recovery after a hospital stay or a planned break for a carer, respite care offers temporary accommodation with 24/7 support in a safe, comfortable environment.
We’ll match you with suitable facilities in your area based on your care needs, preferences, and availability.
