Aged care placement in Brisbane
We help families in Brisbane by phone and video from Melbourne, so we do not come on tours here: we brief you before each visit and debrief after it.
Our records cover 50 homes in Brisbane, run by 33 operators, from Chermside to Wynnum West.
Who can help find an aged care home in Brisbane?
My Aged Care (Australian Government, free, 1800 200 422) arranges the assessment and lists every home in Brisbane, including St Vincent’s Care Carina and Regis Sandgate - Musgrave, the highest rated of the 50 in our records. Our full placement outside Melbourne ($1,450) does the ringing around for you by phone and video.
How remote placement works
- Everything in the Melbourne placement, by phone and video
- A briefing before each tour and a debrief after it (you or a relative attend in person)
- Video tours arranged where homes offer them
Not included: in-person tours; financial advice; legal advice.
Queensland does not use daylight saving, so Brisbane is on Melbourne time from April to October and an hour behind from October to April, and we set call times around that.
