What is an ACAT?

If you are considering moving into an aged care Home you first need an assessment with a member of an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

ACAT members are usually doctors, nurses, social workers or other health professionals based at a local hospital or community health provider.

ACAT assessments are free, as they are funded by the Australian Government to determine if you are eligible for government-subsidised aged care services.
