How to apply

To apply, you will be referred for assessment to the Regional Assessment Service (RAS) who may conduct a face to face assessment before recommending services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program.  

ACH Group can help assist with lodging a referral for an assessment from My Aged Care on your behalf. 

We will request that a representative from My Aged Care contacts you to start the process.

My Aged Care will contact you to understand your needs and recommend services for you. This will include a phone screening and a face to face assessment, if required. 

If you would like ACH Group to provide your service(s), simply tell your assessor and they will contact us to arrange. Alternatively, ask for a referral code and call us back on 1300 22 44 77.

✨ Introducing Spotlight on Social - an activity shaped by staff feedback from the Have Your Say survey.

In response, the Social Team brought staff and residents together for a creative art class that celebrated the meaningful moments happening every day in activities. 🖌️🖼️

💬 Katey Elding, Head of Social, shared:
“Spotlight on Social was a chance to slow down, reflect, and come together to create something that truly captures the value of those moments.” 🌟🤝

Residents were also at the heart of Spotlight on Social, enjoying the chance to take part in something creative and collaborative with staff.

Many shared how much they valued the experience.

💬 Winifred from Highercombe reflected, "I thought it was wonderful. It was a sign of togetherness, which is a beautiful thing to be a part of."

A big thank you to all the Community Connector Leads for bringing this to life across the residential care and social teams. 👏

📸 A moment of focus and connection during the session at Highercombe Residential Care Home – check out the photos capturing creativity unfolding.
