Aged Care Decisions App – Provider FAQ’s

The new Aged Care Decisions App is the first of its kind in aged care. It is designed to make placements more streamlined by providing quick and efficient communication between families and aged care facilities. This is not just a piece of new technology – it is a key innovation in providing consumer directed, accessible aged care placement services for all Australians.

We understand that you may have a few questions about the app and how it will impact you as a Provider. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. If your question does not appear on the list please send us an email at mail@agedcaredecisions.com.au with your question (include any Aged Care Decisions in the email if you can).

Do I have to use the app to send messages?

No. When you receive a new message you will be sent an email alert to your inbox. To reply to the message you just need to click on the link in the email. A page will open up in your internet browser and you will be able to respond to the message.
