What is Assistance to access the community?
Aged care assistance to access the community refers to the support provided to elderly individuals, whether at home or in aged care facilities, to enable active participation in social activities and events within their local community. The support may cover transportation, personal assistance, safety, and coordination with local community groups to help you maintain efficient social engagement and combat loneliness.
Older people in Australia may access funding to assist with community access, depending on their situation and needs. Contact NHCH today to check your eligibility or find the right support.
Community access support has numerous benefits for Consumers, such as:
Reduced social isolation: Regularly engaging with your community will help combat loneliness and promote meaningful connections.
Improved mental well-being: Participation in community activities and events can help boost mood, confidence, and mental condition.
Sense of purpose: Being actively involved or talking to your peers can provide a sense of belonging and help improve your life quality and happiness.
How to access assistance: You can visit the My Aged Care portal or call their helpline to seek help. Alternatively, you can contact NHCH to find a support worker to assist you.

The Regional Assessment Service will work with you to develop a personalised home support plan tailored directly to your needs. Assessors send a ‘referral for service’ to appropriate providers, such as Newcastle and Hunter Community Health, to let them know you are a new client and would like to engage their services. The provider will contact you to make further arrangements.
Alternatively, if you would like to visit or speak to a service provide to decide if they are the right fit for you, a ‘referral code’ can be sent which allows them to view your client record. The provider will review your identified needs and determine how they can assist. You then make the final decision on whether or not to engage their services.
If you’re seeking funding under the My Aged Care plan or already have a care package, we can assist you to get the most out of your plan and access affordable care services.
