Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consult an aged care lawyer?

Ideally, seek legal advice before signing any aged care agreements or management contracts. Early consultation helps identify potential issues, negotiate better terms, and verify you understand all financial and legal implications of entering aged care.

Can you help lower aged care fees?

Yes, our legal services include reviewing fee structures, identifying overcharges, and applying for financial hardship considerations where applicable. We work with financial advisers to investigate legitimate strategies for minimising aged care costs whilst maintaining quality care.

What happens if my loved one's care quality is inadequate?

We immediately advocate on your behalf, documenting concerns and engaging with facility management. If issues persist, we escalate complaints to regulatory bodies and pursue all available remedies to guarantee proper care standards get met.

Do you handle powers of attorney for aged care residents?

Absolutely. We prepare and update enduring powers of attorney, making certain appointed decision-makers have clear authority to act in residents’ best interests for both financial and medical matters.

How quickly can you review an aged care agreement?

We understand aged care decisions often involve time pressures. Our team prioritises urgent agreement reviews, typically providing thorough advice within 24-48 hours of receiving documentation, so you can make informed decisions promptly.
