Can't afford a subscription? If you genuinely cannot afford it — for financial hardship, as a family member or friend we're supporting, or because you've requested help — just email our team with your story. Every request is reviewed personally, and support is provided with dignity and without judgement. If approved, your account will be manually upgraded to full, forever-free access — no subscription needed, no expiration.
Existing paying subscribers stay on their current plan and price — we will not move you to a higher tier or charge you more without your explicit request.
Prefer to try the full platform first? Request a 2-week individual trial — every feature, no payment required.
Every Australian deserves aged care that reflects who they are — their history, their preferences, their relationships, and their rights.
