St George Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT)
The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) is a team of doctors, social workers and other health professionals who provide a thorough assessment of care needs and offer advice on suitable and available care options. ACATs can provide referrals to local community services including the Home and Community Care (HACC) program. ACATs can provide approval for and referral to, Community Aged Care Packages (CACP), designed for people with low level (hostel) care needs. This is a package of co-ordinated care services delivered in the home. ACATs can approve nursing home or hostel type care, and help arrange a place in a suitable facility, as well as for respite for carers. Assessments are valid across Australia for 12 months. Younger persons suffering age related illnesses other than dementia would be considered for assessment on a case to case basis.

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.
