My Aged Care is an Australian Government website and phone line to help people find out what aged care services may be available.

Primary Health Tasmania is commissioning psychological treatment services for people with mental illness who are living in residential aged care facilities.
The aim is to give these residents access to similar services as those currently available in the community and will involve collaborating with the facilities themselves to provide evidenced-based, timely psychological therapies.
Mental health professionals such as psychologists, social workers and mental health nurses will deliver psychological care to residents, who will generally require a referral beforehand.
It’s all part of Primary Health Tasmania’s work commissioning psychological support services designed for people living in residential aged care, intended to complement the personal care, accommodation, physical and social support they receive from their facility.
