What This Tool Does
Your Support at Home classification (1 to 8) is decided through the Single Assessment System, where a trained assessor looks at your needs, your daily routine and your goals. Wayly cannot make that decision, and neither can this tool.
Classification Self-Check helps a family understand how classifications generally work and which level might be in the picture, based on common indicators like help needed with daily tasks, mobility, and clinical needs. Lower classifications (1 to 3) suit mostly independent people, mid-range (4 to 6) cover regular personal and household support, and higher (7 to 8) cover complex, often daily, care.
This is information only, not a substitute for an assessment. It is meant to help you feel prepared for a conversation with My Aged Care, not to predict an outcome.

Prepare for Assessment
Take notes into a conversation with My Aged Care or your assessor.
Information only, not advice. Classification Self-Check uses AI to help you understand your own aged care information in plain English. It does not give financial, legal, or medical advice, and it is not a decision from My Aged Care or Services Australia. AI can make mistakes, so please check anything important against your official statements, your provider, or My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 before you act on it. Figures shown are indicative and subject to the current Schedule of Subsidies and Supplements.

Common Questions
Will this set my classification?
No. Only the Single Assessment System decides your classification. This is information only.
Why does it give a range, not one number?
Classifications depend on a full assessment. A range reflects the indicators you enter without pretending to be the assessment.
Can I ask for a reassessment if my needs change?
Yes. You or your family can contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 at any time.
We were on a Home Care Package. Does that change things?
If you transitioned from HCP, you may be on a transitioned level until a reassessment moves you into one of the eight classifications.
