We understand the decision to move yourself or a loved one into an aged care Home can be difficult. We aim to make the transition as smooth as possible.
We hope the information contained in this booklet helps you better understand the aged care process.
It often helps to speak with an aged care expert over the phone or face-to-face, so please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about us or the aged care process in general.
Your guide to aged care
Where to start?
What is an ACAT?If you are considering moving yourself or a loved one 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 a person is eligible for government-subsidised aged care services.
The ACAT members will visit you or your loved one at home or hospital and ask questions about how well they are managing day-to-day living, and provide information about options for your future.
To find your local ACAT call 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au.
After completing the ACAT assessment you will receive a letter to let you know if you have been approved as eligible for Australian Government subsidised aged care services. The letter will tell you what type of services you are eligible for and approved to receive, and the reasons why.
You should keep a copy of your letter for organisations such as Christadelphian Aged Care to confirm that you are eligible to receive Australian Government subsidised aged care services.
Choosing a Home
