Eligibility criteria

Suncare’s services are provided within government funded community care programs, and each program has guidelines and regulations about who is entitled to receive which services. That is why it is very important to talk to one of our Support Facilitators/ Intake Officers to discuss what your situation is and the right support available in your area that meets your needs.

For many of our programs services your eligibility can be assessed over the phone, you don’t always need an Aged Care Assessment, especially in an emergency, and we may also be able to refer you to other important services.
