Interacting with Government Services, My Aged Care
Tuesday 2nd June, 1:30-3:00pm

This is an important notice if you need to consider any sort of Aged Care service!
If you or a loved one are beginning to look into Aged Care services, this is a vital update regarding how you navigate the system. In recent years, the Australian Federal and State Governments have undergone a significant digital transformation.

Today, accessing essential support is almost entirely an online process.

While traditional paper forms were once the norm, the shift toward "digital first" means that we seniors and our families are now required to use online portals to secure the help they need.
This change means that platforms like myGov and Service NSW are no longer optional; they are the primary gateways for interacting with the
Government.

Whether you need to register for the Support at Home program, update your Medicare details, or manage Centrelink payments, these tools are central to your independence.

Our upcoming session is designed specifically to help you feel confident in this digital landscape. We will walk you through how to link your services, including the ATO, My Health Record, and My Aged Care. We’ll also cover practical state-based tasks like renewing your driver’s license or car registration via Service NSW. Join us to ensure you stay connected, informed, and in control of your care journey.

Cost is $10. Book HERE: https://www.avpals.com/

We looking forward to seeing you from 1:15pm at the Newport Community Centre, 11-13 The Boulevarde, Newport (Hall entrance is opposite the Tennis Courts)
