Process For Entry

For older people seeking residential aged care, community care and respite.

Brightwater, as with all other care providers, can only accept applications for entry after assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

To be referred to an ACAT consult your general practitioner. He or she will refer you to the most appropriate ACAT which is usually located at your nearest public hospital.

Once assessed, you can contact our Admissions Service at Brightwater who will help you with the admissions process on (freecall) 1800 005 009.

For younger people with acquired disabilities seeking residential, community care, rehabilitation or respite.

Younger people with disabilities can contact Brightwater directly to make enquiries about our services. Brightwater will arrange the necessary assessment and guide you during the admissions process.

Fees

As with most care services, fees and charges are applicable.  These fees and charges are set and assessed by the Commonwealth and State Governments.  Fees will be determined by your care needs, your income and assets, the service you choose and whether you have special circumstances.

A full outline of fees and expected costs is provided prior to receiving our services, so you know exactly what your costs will be up front. If you would like any further information on specific Brightwater fees and charges please contact our Admissions Service on 1800 005 009.
