澳大利亚联邦政府用于老年护理评估的算法因无法被人工推翻而受到批评，联邦政府正面临废除该算法的压力 1。老年护理评估决定老年人可获得多少政府资助，以便更长时间独立居家生活 1。实际上，独立的评估工具是一份问卷，而非算法 1。65岁及以上（原住民或无家可归者为50岁及以上）且日常任务变得困难的人应考虑申请评估 1。申请人必须先在My Aged Care注册 1。
评估通常由合格的健康专业人员（如护士、社工、职业治疗师）进行，时长约60至90分钟 1。评估内容包括身心健康、安全、日常任务能力、现有支持、目标和文化需求 1。评估结果可能包括联邦家庭支持套餐或居家支持计划 1。居家支持计划分为八个分类，分类越高，需求和预算越高 1。在费用方面，临床支持服务无需个人付费 1。从2026年10月1日起，临床支持服务将包括经批准的个人护理 1。其他服务需个人共同贡献，比例为总价的5%至80% 1。可通过拨打1800 200 422联系My Aged Care查找服务提供者 1。
The Australian federal government is facing pressure to abolish its aged care assessment algorithm, which has been criticized for being impossible to override manually 1. This assessment determines how much government funding older Australians can receive to live independently at home for longer 1. The independent assessment tool is actually a questionnaire, not an algorithm 1.
People aged 65 and over, or 50 and over for Aboriginal people or those experiencing homelessness, who find daily tasks difficult should consider applying for an assessment 1. Applicants must first register with My Aged Care 1. The assessment is usually conducted by qualified health professionals, such as nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists, and takes about 60 to 90 minutes 1. The assessment covers physical and mental health, safety, ability to perform daily tasks, existing support, goals, and cultural needs 1.
Assessment outcomes may include the Commonwealth Home Support Programme or a Home Care Package 1. Home Care Packages are divided into eight categories, with higher categories indicating greater needs and higher budgets 1. From October 1, 2026, clinical support services will include approved personal care 1. Clinical support services will not require out-of-pocket payment from individuals 1. For other services, recipients need to make a co-contribution ranging from 5% to 80% of the total price 1. Individuals can contact My Aged Care by calling 1800 200 422 to find service providers 1.
