How do I access support?

If you’re seeking support for the first time, you must register with My Aged Care (MAC).

MAC is the starting point for accessing Federal Government-funded services, and they decide on your eligibility for CHSP-funded services. For more information, visit the My Aged Care website or call 1800 200 422 from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturday.

After you register, MAC will refer you to an Aged Care Assessment Service. They’ll conduct an assessment in your home, discussing what you can manage independently and any assistance you need.

If you’re eligible for assistance, the Aged Care Assessment Service will refer you to your preferred service providers. If we’re your preferred provider, a member of our Bayside Care and Support team will contact you and discuss when services will start.

How much does it cost?

Bayside Care and Support has a sliding fee scale that can be discussed at the time of service commencement or assessment. For more information, call Bayside Care and Support on 1300 870 744.
