Will elderly care continue for an aged parent if they come to Australia?

I have a parent who is being taken care of full time in a dementia care unit. If I wish to have him come across to Australia with me, how will that work?

You are best to contact Medicare and Aged Care in Oz. State funded nursing home places are in high demand for Australian citizens with dementia so you may find you will have to put up a considerable amount of money ($150,000) to go into a private residence. You may also find that the Oz govt doesn't grant entry for your elderly parent because of the cost of care required. Sorry.
