Before benefits begin in July 2026, the WA Cares Fund will work to register a diverse range of qualified providers for each covered service. To ensure quality care, providers must meet minimum qualifications to participate. Once registered, beneficiaries can choose from these providers — empowering them to select the services that best meet their needs within their own communities. 

We will cover how the program works, types of providers that will be able to register, minimum qualifications and requirements providers will have to meet, and how to register as a qualified provider.

To access WA Cares benefits, you need to meet a contribution requirement and a care needs requirement. To determine if you meet the care needs requirement, you will talk with a WA Cares team member in an assessment.  
 

We will cover how the program works, the care needs requirement, how to prepare for your assessment, what to expect during your assessment and what happens after your assessment.
