GOVERNMENT FUNDING
You may be entitled to some funding from the government to move into one of our Mildura aged care homes. This is through government’s MyAgedCare (MAC) system. It can be a little confusing and so we are happy to talk you through any questions that you may have.
How does it all work?
The Australian Government’s My Aged Care works by looking at each person’s individual situation, and assigning you funding for the support you need. You can then choose who you want providing those services for you.
If you meet the Australian Government’s eligibility criteria you will be able to access a great variety of government funded aged care services – from basic in-home help right through to full-service aged care homes.
When you let MAC know that Princes Court is your preferred provider, they’ll direct your funding to us, so we can commence your services.

- Step 2: We’ll help you explore what type of support you might need, and connect you with My Aged Care (MAC) so you can begin accessing your Mildura aged care services
- Step 3: MAC will assess your needs and assist you in accessing the aged care services you require
- Step 4: You nominate Princes Court as your preferred provider
- Step 5: We commence your care
