AGED CARE ASSESSMENT
An aged care assessment lets us know what type of care your loved one may require and
allows us to claim government funding to reduce your fees.
These assessments are conducted by local Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACAT) or Aged
Care Assessment Services (ACAS).
Your GP can assist with arranging an assessment or regional ACAT /ACAS can be easily
contacted at My Aged Care (see link below)
