Australia's aged care system is on the verge of significant change. The new Support at Home program represents a major shift in how services will be delivered and managed-and while change may bring opportunity, it can also raise questions and uncertainty for many older Australians and their families.

Just Better Care is committed to supporting you to make sense of what is changing, what will remain the same, and how you will continue to access the care and assistance you depend upon every day.

Our website is an easily accessed source of information that clearly outlines what the Support at Home program is about. Included on the site is information about eligibility, funding, and what the reforms mean for your current or future care arrangements. It's also the best place to connect directly with Just Better Care, where our experienced team can provide personal advice and support tailored to your situation.

As aged care in Australia continues to unfold, Just Better Care remains focused on one thing: enabling you to live independently with dignity and confidence in the place you call home.

Last week we held what we call “Just Better Chat”, this is a connection opportunity for staff to interact with others in the field and the office and is held twice a year.
“Just Better Chat” usually involves a presentation or activity to encourage a sense of community and co-operation, and this time it was a presentation from a local SES volunteer!

Mark offered his time to educate JBC staff on what SES does in the community, as well as how to prepare for relevant emergencies.
This was a great way to discover how we can assist our customers further and keep ourselves safe.
If you’re interested in learning more about what SES can do, contact your local branch or take a look online!

Not all disabilities are visible. Many Australians live with hidden or invisible conditions that affect their energy, concentration, or comfort - often without others realising. Understanding these challenges helps create workplaces and communities that are more inclusive, empathetic and supportive for everyone.
