Carefinder - Client Enquiry Form

Some older people need extra, intensive support to access aged care services and other supports in the community.

In these situations, a care finder may be able to help.

Care Finder is a free service. It exists to support vulnerable people – who have no one else who can support them – to learn about, apply for and set up support services.

If someone doesn’t meet the criteria there are a range of other support options available by visiting the My Aged Care website or COTA Tasmania Care Finder webpage for more information on the supports that are available to you and how to access them.

Don’t worry if you are unsure if the Care Finder program is right for you. We will contact you, when we call, we will ask some questions so we can determine the best way to support you.

 

To be eligible for Care Finder support you will need to meet the following criteria.

Please note that if the person’s safety is at immediate risk, connect them with appropriate emergency service(s). COTA Tas Care Finders are not a crisis/emergency service, and wait times for our support apply.
