AGED CARE

Canberra has a wide variety of facilities and community services dedicated to the care of its older citizens.

Aged care accommodation facilities in the ACT are available across the city and range from self-care units, serviced apartments to 24-hour nursing care. There is also an excellent range of health services and community programs to support the care and independence of older people. The ACT Government’s Office for Ageing promotes positive ageing and responds to the issues affecting older Canberrans.

ACT Heath has detailed information on aged care. Further information about aged care, accomodation and services in Canberra is available from the Council on the Ageing, ACT.
