1Get an aged care assessmentIt decides whether you can move into an aged care home, and it’s free. You must be 65 or older (50 or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, or people who are homeless or at risk of it).Apply online (opens in a new tab), or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422
2Have a means assessmentServices Australia looks at your income and assets to work out what you’ll pay. Your money doesn’t affect whether you can move in.Use the fee estimator (opens in a new tab)
3Visit and compare homesAsk to see the room types and the shared spaces.
4Apply to the homes you likeEach home has its own application. Ask when a room might be free.
5Agree your costs in writingBefore you move in, the home sets out your room price and fees in an agreement for you to sign. Take your time, and ask someone you trust to read it with you.

The management were lacking in compassion, they seemed only interested in money. After having 5 falls in this place we tried to move my grandfather. They would not release his case notes to the prospective new nursing home to be able to assess his care needs in order to admit him. So he passed away there. There were some kind staff but in my experience the management and owners were unscrupulous and cold-hearted.

Our mother has been to several aged care homes and respite over the past 5 years in Queensland. I can honestly say we are over the moon impressed from the first point of contact, to the onsite carers, volunteers met, staff workers, management and phsio, the level of care and compassion received was the best ever!! We feel a huge sense of relief and peace knowing our mother is in such caring hands and a beautiful facility. Customer support and service were EXCEPTIONAL! Thank you Seabrook Aged Care - you have surpassed our highest expectations.

Mum's been here in high care for 10 years. The staff are wonderful - so caring, patient and professional. The home is well run with good processes and management - they have taken COVID very seriously and you can tell they have plans in place when different scenarios play out.

From our first point of contact with Seabrook we were met with professionalism, compassion and respect. All management and staff were exceptional in handling our mothers end of life journey. They treated mum with so much caring and respect and gave mum the dignity she deserved during these difficult times especially due to Covid-19 restrictions. Our family have nothing but the highest praise for everyone involved at Seabrook. Words can not express our heartfelt thanks enough.
