The Moreton Bay region is located north of Brisbane, stretching from Redcliffe and North Lakes through Caboolture to Bribie Island and Woodford. The region includes suburbs and towns such as Strathpine, Kallangur, Petrie, Burpengary, Morayfield, Narangba, Deception Bay, Samford Valley and Dayboro.
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 the Moreton Bay region, including Redcliffe, North Lakes, Caboolture, Morayfield, Bribie Island, Strathpine and surrounding suburbs, 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 throughout Moreton Bay under the Single Assessment System, which replaced the previous ACAT and Regional Assessment Service arrangements.
Assessment organisations servicing the Cabool aged care planning region include Aspire4Life, Centacare, Queensland Department of Health, Footprints and Suncare.
