Atherton Tablelands Aged Care Homes – Mt Kooyong Nursing Home

Mt Kooyong is a high level care home (previously known as nursing homes) located on the Atherton Tablelands at Julatten. We specialise in high care residential services for patients who often need continuous nursing care.

As a government subsidized facility, Mt Kooyong is approved by the Australian Government to provide care to our residents. Australia’s aged care system is designed to ensure all older people (and those in need) can receive support and quality care when they need it.

If you want to take advantage of the government subsidized services at Mt Kooyong, you will need to arrange a FREE assessment with your local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). ACAT usually includes relevant health professionals (doctor, nurse, social worker etc) who will assess if you are eligible to receive care and which services you need. For more information in regards to this, please visit the My Aged Care website.

Once an application has been received and we confirm a place is available, new residents will be required to complete a Residential Agreement. This will cover all rights and responsibilities, and applicable services and fees. It is a legal agreement and will include:

• The policies and practices used to set fees and charges.
• The level of daily fee you’ll be asked to pay [if required in addition to the subsidized amount].
• Any extra services you’ve agreed to receive, and their costs.
• Any circumstances where you might be asked to leave and how we will help you find somewhere more appropriate.
• Your rights and responsibilities as a resident.
• Our responsibilities to you as a resident.
• How we deal with any complaints you, your carer, friends or family may make.
• Any other matters agreed between you and Mt Kooyong Nursing Home, within the requirements of the legislation.
