Navigate My Aged Care with us!
As a provider under the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and Home Care Package (HCP) program, we understand that starting the process of accessing My Aged Care services can be overwhelming. We also know that many seniors in our community deserve access to the domestic support, personal care and flexible respite services available through these programs.
Let us alleviate the stress of navigating this system by guiding you through the initial steps of accessing My Aged Care or transitioning from CHSP to a HCP if your needs have grown.
Our friendly Aged Care Team will be available on-site at the Belconnen Community Centre every Wednesday from 9am to 5pm to help you with any inquiries. Just drop in and ask for them at reception!
You can also give us a call at (02) 6278 8101 or email communitycare@crcs.com.au.
