My Aged Care
My Aged Care is the Australian Government funded assistance program set up to provide assistive technology and services to our aging comminties.
Since the early 2000s, Open Mobility has worked closely with support coordinators and service providers in the aged care sector. We take pride in how closely we have grown to know the local communities in our service areas and strive to continue offering the highest level of support through our products, expertise, and services.
For information on how to apply we have created the below step by step guide to accessing the My aged care program, alternately feel free to contact your nearest Open Mobility showroom and our friendly team can help guide you through the process.
