News from the Community Service Coordinator

Published on 30 March 2026

Recent changes to My Aged Care have left many residents and families feeling unsure about what it all means and how it affects them.

If you’re finding it confusing — you’re not alone.

My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s main entry point for accessing aged care services. This can include help at home, support with daily tasks, or connecting to services like CHSP (Commonwealth Home Support Programme) and providers such as Blue Care.

With the recent updates, the system is aiming to improve how services are delivered and make support more tailored to individual needs. However, we understand that changes can sometimes create uncertainty, especially when you’re trying to plan ahead or support a loved one.

So, what should you do?

If you have questions or would simply like someone to walk through it with you, there are a few options:

• Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422
• Visit the My Aged Care website
• Speak with a local service provider
• Or talk to Sandy Gurney, Community Service Coordinator 0458 809 294 

Here in Murweh, Sandy can help make sense of the changes in a simple, practical way. Whether it’s explaining what services are available, helping you understand the process, or sitting down together to go through paperwork — support is available locally.

A simple reminder

You don’t need to have it all figured out before asking for help.

Starting the conversation early can make a big difference and ensure you or your loved ones receive the right support at the right time.

If you would like to know more, reach out and have a chat with Sandy — you don’t have to navigate it on your own.
