Aged Care Assessment Teams

Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACATs) are specialized groups of healthcare professionals that evaluate the needs of older adults to determine the most appropriate care options. They assess physical, mental, and social health to develop personalized care plans, which can include home support, community services, or residential facilities. ACATs help facilitate access to government-funded aged care services, ensuring seniors receive tailored support to maintain independence and well-being. Their role is to assist older individuals and their families in making informed decisions about care arrangements based on comprehensive assessments.
