Aged Care Placement - Making the Applications

Making the applications

Most people who have been through the process of obtaining an aged care placement know that that the paperwork can be comprehensive.

Many aged care homes use the generic forms suggested by the Commonwealth government but some prefer to use thier own application forms.

As well as the obligatory application form, there is the Centrelink / DVA "Request for Assest Assessment". This form is really a booklet and contains 27 pages, over 80 complex questions and its own "information booklet" of 7 pages describing how to complete the first booklet.
