Looking After Elderly Parents: Australian Aged Care Organiser (Printable and Typeable A4)

Looking After Elderly Parents is a 36-page printable organiser for families in Australia who look after an ageing parent. It keeps appointments, medications, bills, My Aged Care, Support at Home and Centrelink tasks in one place, so nothing slips.

It's made in Australia for how aged care works here, by a daughter who looks after her own mum and knows how overwhelming a carer's job can be.

It's independently made and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by My Aged Care, Services Australia, Medicare, Carer Gateway or any government agency.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Start here: how to use it and keep it safe
• At a glance: your parent's key details on one page
• Hospital grab sheet: one page to take to the emergency department
• Health history: falls, turns and episodes, hospital stays and past operations
• Contacts: family, the health and care team, the aged care provider and useful national phone numbers
• Appointments: an undated month calendar (weeks start on Sunday) and an appointment log, both to print as often as you need, and a questions page
• Medications: medicine list, a record of changes, prescription renewal dates, Webster pack details and a PBS Safety Net note
• My Aged Care and Support at Home: My Aged Care ID and supporters, assessment and funding stage, care plan reviews, quarterly budget tracker and monthly statement check
• Centrelink and Services Australia: reference number, nominees, payments, letters and due dates, concession cards and permits, and changes to report
• Bills and money: bill calendar, regular payments and your out-of-pocket costs
• Home and daily life: services at home, key holders, a simple home safety check, and mobility aids and equipment
• Legal and planning documents: where they're kept, executors, bank accounts (no account numbers), and what they're called in your state
• Their wishes: what matters to your parent, in their own words
• Family roster: who does what, so it doesn't all fall on one person
• For you, the carer: support, respite, carer payments and a weekly check-in

GOOD TO KNOW

• This is general information only, not medical, legal or financial advice. It's a place to write down what the doctor, provider or agency tells you.
• Phone numbers and aged care details were checked in September 2026. Rules change, so check with the organisation if something doesn't match.
• For use by your own household. Please don't share or resell the file. Aged care providers and retirement villages are welcome to get in touch.

HOW IT WAS MADE

Designed and written by Julie at Midas Spirit, with help from an AI assistant. Every page was reviewed, and the aged care facts were checked against government websites.

REFUNDS

Because it's a digital download, refunds aren't offered for change of mind. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply: if the file is faulty or not as described, contact us for a replacement or a refund.
