Stephanie Burdett

Stephanie Burdett writes about aged care for people who are working it out for the first time.

She covers the practical questions that come up along the way, from recognising that a parent needs help through to understanding what it will cost. She works from Department of Health and Aged Care guidance, Services Australia material and My Aged Care, and updates her articles as the rules change.

Stephanie also writes for the Australian Carers Guide.

Before specialising in aged care, she worked across health, finance and education, and taught journalism and communication at Griffith University. That background shapes her approach. She starts with the question the reader is really asking, provides a clear next step, and is upfront about what funding will not cover.

At Aged Care Decisions, she writes to help older Australians and their families understand their options and know what to ask next.
