Dubbo Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT)

Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACAT) are teams of health professionals, such as doctors, nurses or social workers, who provide information, advice and assistance to older people who are having difficulty living at home. An ACAT can: 1. approve eligibility for entry into residential aged care, in either low level care (hostel type) or high level care (nursing home type). 2. provide information about residential aged care and community care services in your local area. 3. help you arrange special short-term care (respite care) so you or your carer can take a break, and 4. approve eligibility for a package of community care (Community Aged Care Packages and Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH) Packages) to help you continue living at home, or refer you to other services that will help you continue living at home.

I'm a single mum to a 10 yr old boy, Zayden.
We live in Melton, which is in the west of Melbourne.
I urgently require assistance.
Food vouchers would be absolutely ideal and a petrol voucher.
I have to drive my son to and from school.
He is back from school camp today and my registration was due the day he left for camp. Another $100+ I just don't have.
Once my rent is paid there isn't enough left to survive.
This week is extra tough.
Once bills are direct debited I'm lucky to get food for a few days.
I have no family to get help from and zaydens dad doesn't support zayden at all.
Every time I ask for help from places locally I have to be assessed and it's so much stress going through all your troubles being advised to see financial advisers. It's so depressing going through the same thing each time.
I keep getting referred to Orange Door. They seem to help everyone else I've spoken to without having to relive and go thru your depressing present reasons why you require help quite indepth they go. Which is too stressful.
They have left me without assistance on a friday left me with no help because I'd spoken to more than 1 person there they were confused and just left me with nothing.
My phone is playing up so can't receive calls always so they just didn't send vouchers they'd told me they were sending..
It's just so stressful having to explain your story all the time.
