Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) - Blue Mountains

Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACAT) assist older people and their carers to find appropriate aged care services. ACAT provide a comprehensive assessment of individual care needs and refer people to services when they can no longer care for themselves at home.

An ACAT assessment and approval is required before people can access residential care and government aged care programs such as Community Aged Care Packages (CACP) and Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH) Packages.
