To access aged care services, a person must undergo an assessment to determine their eligibility and what care would be best for them.
There are the few things you need to know before you enter aged care. An Aged Care Assessment (ACAT) needs to be completed before you can enter an Aged Care Facility. If you are assessed as eligible for entry into an aged care home, you will receive an approval letter and support plan from your ACAT that sets out the care you are approved to receive. The support plan will include a unique referral code which you will need to provide to us. This assists us in determining the best location within the facility and level of care needed. You must also complete an income and asset assessment to find out how much extra you will need to contribute to your care (if any). This is to be completed by you and/or family through Centrelink/Services Australia. Please refer to links below to apply for an ACAT assessment and income and asset assessment.
