WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
To be eligible you need to live at home or with a carer or family and be elderly and frail or be younger with a disability.

Your frailty or disability needs to be moderate to sever, permanent and affect your activities of daily living, to the extent that you need assistance or supervision to carry them out.

HOW DO I APPLY?
To apply, you need to be assessed by a health professional who will assess your needs and determine your eligibility.

Your health professional may also assess your level of risk based on your needs and determine whether your risk is high, medium or low. Those with the highest risk will be prioritised.
