Australia's aged care system is on the verge of significant change. The new Support at Home program represents a major shift in how services will be delivered and managed-and while change may bring opportunity, it can also raise questions and uncertainty for many older Australians and their families.

Just Better Care is committed to supporting you to make sense of what is changing, what will remain the same, and how you will continue to access the care and assistance you depend upon every day.

Our website is an easily accessed source of information that clearly outlines what the Support at Home program is about. Included on the site is information about eligibility, funding, and what the reforms mean for your current or future care arrangements. It's also the best place to connect directly with Just Better Care, where our experienced team can provide personal advice and support tailored to your situation.

As aged care in Australia continues to unfold, Just Better Care remains focused on one thing: enabling you to live independently with dignity and confidence in the place you call home.

Not all disabilities are visible. Many Australians live with hidden or invisible conditions that affect their energy, concentration, or comfort - often without others realising.
