Help staying at home

Common question


Question:	Do I have to get an Aged Care Assessment done to receive help with my care at home?
Answer:	To be eligible to receive a care package such as a Community Aged Care Package or Extended Aged Care at Home package you must be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). Alternative assistance at home can be arranged through the Home And Community Care (HACC) services without an ACAT assessment
