Vision Australia NDIS & Aged Care Funding Specialist Lead Caitlin McMorrow speaks to Briony Underwood from Elder Rights Advocacy, an organisation which has provided information, advocacy and social support to people using aged care services for over 30 years.

My Aged Care helps older Australians find support to continue living independently. The initiative is available to eligible people 65 years and over. It's also available to those over the age of 50 if you identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
