About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to join?

The Inclusee programs are completely FREE for eligible participants. As we are a Government funded service, some eligibility criteria apply. You must be 65+ or 50+ if you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person. If you aren't eligible for this funding, we have other options to join in and will happily explore these with you. Please call us on 1800 287 687 to check your eligibility or by completing our enquiry form.

What are the eligibility requirements to access Inclusee’s services?

To receive services under CHSP funding all participants need to be registered with My Aged Care (MAC). This means they need to be aged 65 or over (or 50+ if an identified priority population group) and not be accessing a home care package. You can ask for this referral directly from MAC, or you can ask Inclusee to request this referral for you by calling us on 1800 287 687.

Will this service affect my existing funding/package?

Inclusee uses the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) funding: Social Support - Group, Social Support - Individual, Phone and Web Service. This funding is paid to us per service and does not affect other services received by the individual although they can only receive this funding from one provider. They can, however, still receive other CHSP funded services from other providers of their choice, including other Individual Social Support services including accompanied shopping. Furthermore, there are no co-contribution fees for any Inclusee services.

How long does it take to get started?

Before beginning, a referral from My Aged Care is essential. The timeframe for this can vary, but once received, the registration and onboarding process takes up to 3 weeks.

Additionally, our volunteer matching timeframe is approximately 2 weeks for general matches, but may be longer for specific requests such as a language requirement.

What if I am not good with technology?

Not a problem! We keep things simple so you can focus on connecting.  Your assigned Connection Support Officer will help you with using the technology and will check in regularly to make sure you're comfortable. If you would like to learn more about technology, you can also join one of our Learn programs which cover a wide variety of tech subjects.

Can I use my tablet to join in?

Yes, you can use your own device to join our programs. All you need to do is register by completing our contact form here. Once we have received your request, we will send you our onboarding information, including instructions on how to download the Inclusee Connect App.

If you have any issues along the way, please call our friendly Tech Team on 1800 287 687 for assistance. 

Once you have successfully downloaded the Inclusee Connect App, you will be assigned your own, dedicated Connection Support Officer who will discuss our programs in more detail and manage the volunteer matching process to get you on your way with joining our connecting community.
