How to prepare for a Home Care Package assessment

After you have registered with My Aged Care, you will be allocated a time for an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) assessment or Regional Assessment Service (RAS) assessment.My Aged Care may determine the support you require with an assessment while you are in hospital or during a home visit, through a comprehensive assessment.

The ACAT or RAS assessor may visit you in person or complete the assessment over the phone. You will be asked questions that will assist them to work out how much and what sort of support you require with daily and personal activities, determining the best care option for your personal situation.  This help could include Home Care Packages, CHSP, respite care, short-term care options or residential aged care.

Tips on how to prepare:

You will be advised by letter on the outcome of your assessment and, if eligible, the level of your Home Care Package.  You will also be advised of your priority for assignment of a package with an expected wait time.
