UNFINISHED Micro-Guide: The Aged Care Maze

You do not need to know everything. You need to know the next step.

Assessments, packages, waitlists, providers and funding levels can make the aged care system feel impossible to navigate - especially when you are already worried about a parent. This guide turns the maze into a clear starting sequence, one practical action at a time.

This focused 12-page digital guide uses Unfinished's three-part approach - Face It, Shape It and Own It - to help you:

• Understand the basic sequence from My Aged Care registration through assessment, support planning and provider selection.
• Identify the exact step your family is currently at instead of researching the entire system at once.
• Use the Key Contacts and Documents Sheet to keep reference numbers, dates and essential records in one place.
• Choose one concrete call or administrative task and commit to completing it by a specific date.

What you will leave with: A clear next step, a practical aged care starting sequence and one organised place for the contacts and documents your family will need.

Designed for: Adult children of ageing parents who are newly navigating My Aged Care, assessments, support packages, providers or waitlists.
