Waverley 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 complex care needs and offer advice on suitable and available care options. The role of ACAT is to assess people in their own homes to determine the best care options for them. 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.

Hi i'm a 34 year old pensioner with a disability I have recently been a victim of family violence. I have 3 children. My 10yo lizard was fed to my dogs as well as all my food in the cupboard, my front door was kicked in so currently has no door knob and can't be locked, my daughter was terrorizes where he stood in her room with a knife and all our clothing and most bedding was cut up. I have spoken to centrelink who cannot help me because the perpetrators address wasn't mine, I have tried welfare agencies who for the past 3 days have been full by the time I get through on the phone and no one seems to be concerned or worried about the after effects. If anyone can please help please let me know.
