Under the new Aged Care Act, your income and asset information determines how much you’ll contribute towards your Care.
If we don’t have your income and asset information, you may be asked to contribute maximum rates towards your care until you provide it.
You can use the myGov app, your Centrelink online account through myGov or the Express Plus Centrelink Mobile App to update your financial information.
