Aged Care Assessment Team TAS
If you’d like to apply for a Home Care Package and you live in Tasmania, you’ll need an Aged Care Assessment (ACAT) with this team from My Aged Care.
To find out if you are eligible for a Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 government funded Home Care Package, you will need what is called an Aged Care Assessment (ACAT).
