Where to start

What are the next steps?

Once your assessment has been done and you have a copy of your Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT or ACAS in Victoria) (more information) approval, your ACAT member may get in touch with you or your carer to help you locate the services that you need.

These may include community services that can help you with shopping, gardening and transport, or contact details of aged care homes in your area.

At the end of your ACAT assessment your team member will probably leave behind reading material about services that you may wish to consider using, or services that may form part of their recommendations.
