Aged Care Assessment Team (Fremantle Hospital)
Our Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) works with older people in the Fremantle ACAT catchment area to assess their current living situation and what level of support will maximise their independence and safety.
For some people, this will be access to community support services provided in their home. For other people, access to short term or long term residential aged care services is more appropriate.
The team consists of nursing and allied health professionals and may recommend and approve people for Australian Government aged care funded services such as:
- home care packages
- residential aged care services
- residential respite services
- transition between hospital and home (Healthy WA).
Medical consultation is available to staff to assist with assessments.
Based at Fremantle Hospital, ACAT conduct community, residential care, and hospital assessments between 8.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday.
