In this , we will be talking about the Single Assessment System (SAS).
The SAS is Australia’s new way of assessing your aged care needs. It helps you and your family get the right support at home or in residential care without having to repeat your information for every service.
With SAS, one assessment is shared across all government-funded aged care services, including:
🤍 Support at Home
🤍 Respite care
🤍 Residential aged care
Why it’s helpful:
✔️ You only need to tell your story once
✔️ Your care can change as your needs change
✔️ Assessments are consistent and clear, making it easier to get the support you need
To start, contact My Aged Care online or call 1800 200 422. An assessor will guide you through your options and help plan the support that’s right for you
