If you are considering permanent or respite care in our Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFS) you must have an assessment performed by the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS).
You can be referred to this service by your local doctor or do a self-referral by contacting My Aged
Care. Aged Care Assessment Services (ACAS) are independent teams who assist older people and their carers to identify what kind of care will best meet their needs.
Approval for respite and permanent residential aged care approval Is required, however staff at
Tallangatta Health Service can be contacted at any time to discuss your needs and provide
Information.
Assessment teams are multi-disciplinary and can include health professionals such as medical officers, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. They conduct comprehensive assessments for people needing community services or aged care residential services.
Residential Aged Care (RAC) financial requirements, including daily fees, can be discussed with the facility Finance Manager. For more information on fees, please visit: myagedcare.gov.au/aged-care-home-costs-and-fees.
