Aged Care Assessment Teams have the responsibility of assessing eligibility for nursing home, hostel or community residential care as well as homecare option packages. They do this by assessing a person's mental, physical and social situation. If residential care or community aged care packages are not appropriate they can refer people to supported residential services, extended care services and communtiy services. ACATs can also approve you for Transition Care which is aimed at improving your independence and confidence after a hospital stay. Transition Care can be for up to 12 weeks provided in either a residential care facility or in your own home.

Hello
My mum suffered a stroke in July and is currently in Woy Woy rehab centre. They’re hoping she’ll be home in 5/6 weeks. My dad is looking for someone to come in the mornings and evenings to help with mum. We are looking at between 4-6 hours per day. We’ll know more in 5/6 weeks as to the role itself but it’s standby assistance.
