An advocate provides you with the information and support you need for better aged care. OPAN helps tens of thousands of older people resolve their issues with government-funded aged care services each year.
Older people, their families and carers often call us when they
- are finding it difficult to access aged care services
- have a concern about their aged care services
- don’t feel like their aged care services are meeting their needs
- want to make a complaint.
Our national team of advocates is here to ensure your rights are upheld and your wishes are met, whether you are living independently at home or in residential care.
Our services are free, independent and confidential.
