The South Perth region stretches across Perth’s southern and south eastern suburbs, from South Perth and Victoria Park through Belmont and Cannington to Canning Vale, Thornlie and Gosnells. The region includes suburbs such as Kewdale, High Wycombe, Forrestfield, Kenwick, Orange Grove, Maddington, Riverton, Bull Creek, Willetton and Leeming.
Local Guardians supports older Australians throughout the region with personalised care management, helping them make the most of their Support at Home funding, access suitable services and maintain their independence at home.
Older Australians living in South Perth and surrounding suburbs, including Victoria Park, Belmont, Cannington, Canning Vale, Willetton, Thornlie, Gosnells and High Wycombe, can apply for an aged care assessment through My Aged Care.
An aged care assessment helps determine eligibility for government-funded services, including Support at Home, residential aged care, respite care and transition care.
Assessments are free and available to people aged 65 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 and over, and people aged 50 and over who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, provided they meet the care needs requirements.
During the assessment, a qualified assessor will discuss your health, daily activities and care needs to recommend suitable support. Family members or carers can participate with your consent.
Several organisations provide aged care assessments across South Perth and surrounding suburbs under the Single Assessment System, which replaced the previous ACAT and Regional Assessment Service arrangements.
Assessment organisations servicing the Perth metropolitan region include Access Care Network Australia (ACNA), APM (Serendipity), the Western Australian Department of Health and Independent Living Assessment (iLA).
