Navigating Aged Care in 2026

Navigating the aged care system can feel complex and overwhelming. For ageing residents in the Manningham area, having reliable information is key to planning with confidence and maintaining control over important life decisions.

Costanzo Lawyers will deliver an informative and accessible presentation covering the core elements of aged care, including nursing home agreements, Refundable Accommodation Deposits (RADs), Daily Accommodation Payments (DAPs), Daily Accommodation Contributions (DACs), and an individual’s rights and responsibilities. Whether you are planning ahead for yourself or supporting a loved one, this session will help you understand the financial and legal considerations involved so you can make informed choices with clarity.

The session will be informal and welcoming, providing a supportive space to learn what may be required when entering an aged care agreement. Many residents in Templestowe Lower, Bulleen, and Templestowe are aged over 50 and come from culturally diverse backgrounds, with a significant proportion speaking a language other than English at home. Ensuring everyone has access to clear, trustworthy information is essential when navigating such an important and often complicated process. This session will also benefit those managing aged care decisions for parents while balancing other life commitments.
