Aged Care Assessment Team
The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) consists of nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and other health professionals.
ACATs help frail older people and their carers work out what kind of care will best meet their needs.
ACATs provide information on suitable care options for people who have complex care needs and are at risk of needing a high level of support. If care at home is agreed as being the most appropriate type of care, ACATs will refer you to local community services. If residential care is agreed as the best care option, ACATs can approve high or low care and assist you to nominate suitable facilities.
ACATs are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, with contributions by the State Government.
