Bookings open for aged care info sessions

Bookings are still open for Cardinia Shire Council’s final free session on My Aged Care and Care Finder services, happening on Wednesday 28 May 2025.

Second in the series, this session is designed to provide valuable information and support to our older community members aged 55+ years, and their families.

The State Government’s subsidised My Aged Care program and free Care Finder service can help eligible people to access services like cleaning, shopping, and personal care, ensuring they can live safely and independently. To access My Aged Care, you need to have an assessment.

This session provides information about a range of topics, including how to register for My Aged Care, the application and assessment process, how to book an appointment with an Aged Care Specialist Officer, and about the Care Finder service.

The session is free, includes refreshments, and offers individual discussions with experts. Bookings are required for catering purposes.

Book now by contacting Council’s Ageing Well Team by calling 1300 787 624 or emailing mail@cardinia.vic.gov.au
