For health professionals
Refer in 60 seconds. We do the family legwork. You see every update.
Free support for hospital and community teams placing older patients into aged care. No contract, no exclusivity, no cost to you or the family.
A named adviser calls the family
Refer before 3pm on a business day and we speak with the family the same day. You get their name and a number for the referral team.
We do the searching
Vacancies, waiting lists, fees, after-hours admissions contacts. We present real options, not a directory.
You see the outcome
Every status change comes back to you by email and sits in your dashboard. You know whether your patient was placed.
How it works
Step 1: You refer
Two minutes. Patient, who to call, discharge date, what they need.
Step 2: We call the family
Same day for referrals received before 3pm on a business day.
Step 3: We present options
Matched to the funding they have and the date they need to move.
Step 4: You see the result
Status and outcome back in your dashboard, with a note from the adviser.
How CareAbout is paid.
CareAbout is free for you and for the family. We are paid by aged care providers when a placement proceeds. The fee is the same from every provider on our panel, so there is no financial reason for us to recommend one over another. We do not pay referrers, and we do not offer gifts, vouchers or benefits of any kind to health professionals.
Free resources for your ward
Referral guides, fee explainers and family handouts you can print or share. No sign-in needed.
