Self-Check
Wondering if aged care support might help you or someone you care about? Answer these simple questions. It takes about two minutes.
⚠️ This is not a medical or clinical assessment. It’s a simple tool to help you think about whether it might be worth exploring aged care support. Only a trained assessor through My Aged Care can determine eligibility. We don’t store your answers — they stay on your device only.
Things seem manageable for now
Based on your answers, things appear to be going reasonably well at the moment. That’s great.
It’s still a good idea to know what support is available, so that if things change, you’re not starting from scratch. Our Start Here guide is a calm introduction you can read at your own pace.
If anything changes — a fall, a health event, increased difficulty with daily tasks — come back and take this again, or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.

Your answers suggest that some daily activities are becoming more difficult. This is very common, and there’s no shame in it — it’s exactly what the aged care system is designed to help with.
A good next step would be to talk to the GP about what you’re noticing, and consider contacting My Aged Care to learn about your options. You don’t have to commit to anything — it’s just a conversation.

Your answers suggest that daily life has become quite challenging. You’re not alone in this — many Australian families are in the same situation, and there is help available.
We’d encourage you to contact My Aged Care to start the process. They can arrange an assessment and help you understand what support is available. It’s a free call, and you can call on behalf of someone else.
