About Community Aged Care Packages - (ACAT)

Community Aged Care Packages (CACPs) aims to provide a community alternative for frail older people whose dependency and complex care needs would qualify them for entry to low level residential care. The CACPs are individually tailored packages of care services to frail older people assessed as requiring a range of services in their own homes. An ACAT must have assessed all recipients as eligible. Service providers use a case management approach to develop and monitor care delivery to the client.
