About your new role

The Department of Health and Aged Care (DOH) has funded the Aged Care Navigator Program (ACNP) as part of its commitment to support older carers and family carers of frail aged individuals. Delivered through the Carer Gateway, the ACNP helps carers effectively navigate the often complex My Aged Care system, ensuring they can access the appropriate services and supports for themselves and the person they care for.

This role plays a critical part in assisting carers to understand and access aged care services while reducing stress and improving outcomes for both carers and those they support.
