The role of health professionals in My Aged Care
As a health professional you can help your patients get the aged care services they need with My Aged Care.
Find more information for health professionals, including:
- when to refer a patient to My Aged Care
- how to make and follow up on a referral
- what happens after a referral
- how to organise urgent services
- how to find information about a patient, including whether they are already receiving services.
Hospitals can contact service providers directly when:
- a patient who had services in place before entering hospital need those services to restart after discharge
- a patient needs access to a Multi-Purpose Service or the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program.
