    Clarity was born out of our own personal experience.

    When it came time to transition our loved one into care, we felt anxious, confused & overwhelmed.

    At Clarity, we provide clear, reliable guidance to help ease the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges of entering aged care. Our team develops strategic plans to ensure families navigate the process efficiently, with emphasis on the financial outcome. Our mission is to empower families with the knowledge and support they need to make confident and informed decisions about their loved one’s care.

    Personal Experience

    My personal experience convinced me beyond any shadow of a doubt that thousands of Australian’s are overpaying when entering Aged Care and continuing to overpay on a monthly basis

      Understanding Aged Care Costs & How We Can Help You Make the Right Decision

      Moving family members into aged care is difficult and emotional. The need to move often arrives with little warning and leads to a complex array of financial decisions. 

      After selecting a facility, families must navigate a range of financial considerations, including funding of accommodation deposits, daily and extra services fees, Centrelink means-tested fees, pension entitlements, and the question of whether to sell the family home. 

      The process is compounded by the short time in which to make these choices, the confusing acronyms like RADs, DAPs, DACs & RACs and the challenge of navigating Centrelink requirements. 

      Our expert advisors work closely with families to create a strategic plan that simplifies the process with a focus on the financial outcome. We help you understand your options and demonstrate how each choice will impact fees and government entitlements – potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars each year.

        Why is it important to seek guidance when a loved one is entering Aged Care?

        How can Clarity Aged Care Advisors assist with my aged care financial situation?

        Our expert advisors work closely with families to create a strategic plan that simplifies the process of moving a loved one in care with an emphasis on the financial outcome.

        What government subsidies or support can I access for aged care?

        Australia ensures that no one is denied access to Aged Care. The federal government subsidises aged care costs, covering up to $420 per person per day for full-fee-paying residents. On top of that, some residents who were not previously eligible for the Age Pension may qualify after entering aged care. Additionally, for residents with limited financial means, the government provides even greater support.

        Contact us today to find out how much government assistance you may be eligible for.

        What Should I Look for in an Aged Care Advisor?

        Choosing the right aged care advisor can make a significant difference not only in the financial outcome but also in providing peace of mind. Look for an advisor who specialises exclusively in aged care and has personal experience with the process. This ensures they understand both the logistical challenges and the emotional complexities involved. 

        A knowledgeable advisor will guide you through government subsidies, care costs, and entitlements while providing clear, compassionate support. Moving a loved one into care is a complex and emotional journey, so it's important to have an advisor who explains your options simply and understands your circumstances with empathy.

        It’s also important to choose an advisor who operates on a fee-for-service basis, ensuring they are not incentivised to recommend facilities or alternatives that may not be the right fit. At Clarity Aged Care Advisors, we provide expert, independent guidance and ongoing support to help families navigate aged care with confidence. Contact us today to discuss your options.
