@albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Labor has created this problem for Pensioners with the new Co-payments under #MyAgedCare Some paying up to $500 a month in co-payments & fees (an absolute disgrace) at a time when the cost of living is skyhigh. #auspol

Very helpful article re SUPPORT AT HOME by @keager.bsky.social in @johnmenadue.com's Public Policy Journal johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12... #MyAgedCare ~ I strongly agree that "the new arrangements are unnecessarily complicated and confusing"; moreover, the wait times are illogical and interminable.

How to navigate the Support at Home maze Australia’s revamped aged care system was supposed to streamline access and improve support. Instead, older people are confronting long waits, rising costs, confusing assessments and opaque rules that too often leave them without the help they need.

Australia’s new aged care system is complex and often overwhelming. Kathy Eagar and Paul Sadler break down how to access support at home and what to expect at each step. #AgedCare #MyAgedCare #SupportAtHome #AusPol @k_eagar

It’s very scary. #MyAgedCare

Quelle surprise.
This is what happens when the aged care (oxymoron) system is broken and successive governments will not fix it, knowing we are all going to die sooner rather than later so why not speed up the process.

Support at Home? First they came for the young people, now they come for the old - Michael West "Self-management a best kept secret". Investigation of the government's new Home Care package finds 'ka-ching' for private providers.

It's ALL about the money.

#MyAgedCare #AgedCareAustralia #CHSP

So despite 30 years of debilitating chronic worsening disability, I've been assessed over the phone as only eligible for CHSP. As further penance because I live rurally, there is only one provider. They dont provide meals,osteo, or social support in my area.

We Need Mental Health as well as Physical Health Mental health is critically important when we have a chronic health condition. Chocolate makes us feel good, but is not the best solution.

I wrote this in 2018, earlyish in my journey.

Now my Level 3 plan is funded, I can't find a psychologist that will bill my plan provider.

The podiatrist and exercise physiologist will.

Very frustrating.

#ChronicIllness #MyAgedCare probably #NDIS as well I guess.

Mum’s in the hospital (reason for my trip home) and we hope she can come home next week.
Setting up the system of care for when she gets home has been ARDUOUS
The waiting list on the #myagedcare system began years ago - people die while waiting for support or are forced into institutions

It's one reason why we had #censusfail, #robodebt, #myagedcare #optusfail, and a myriad of other government failures... good governance enables courage and confidence when giving advice to shrill ministers, their advisers, and the media.
