Aged care costs can feel like a tangle of fees and unfamiliar terms.

One helpful place to start is separating support at home from living in an aged care home – the costs work differently.

Swipe through for the broad picture, then read our guide for more detail.

You don’t have to navigate it alone. Elder Folks can also help you navigate the assessments, paperwork and options, with your choices at the centre.

It’s often one of the first questions people ask when looking into aged care. And not one that comes with a simple answer.

There isn’t a single price for aged care support services in Australia. The costs a person pays depend on their individual financial circumstances and the services and support they receive.

We’ve put together an article to unpack the main costs, so you can see where to start and what questions to ask.

Where we live, how we access care and whether we're heard in decisions about our lives all shape what it means to age well.

This International Day of Older Persons, the UN is asking us to rethink systems for longer lives. Australians who reach 65 can now expect to live around eight to nine years longer than they did a century ago.* For Elder Folks, that means listening to older people first, helping them navigate care and housing, and working towards support that reflects their choices.

Older people know what matters to them. Our systems need to make room for those voices.

We're delighted to welcome Daniella Iona back to Elder Folks following her maternity leave.

She's been an important part of our journey for many years, helping build the systems and programs that let us support more older Australians facing complex challenges with housing, aged care and wellbeing.

Those who work with Daniella know the energy, organisation and determination she brings to everything she does – always with a focus on the best outcome for our clients, team and partners.

We're incredibly fortunate to have her back as we enter this next chapter. Welcome back, Daniella.
