How Our Aged Care Assessments Can Help You
Our Aged Care Assessments are designed to support older adults who:
- Require Assistance with Daily Living Tasks: We assess the level of support needed for activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and managing medications.
- Seek to Maintain Independence: We identify ways to help you maintain your independence at home by recommending home modifications, assistive devices, or care services.
- Plan for Future Care Needs: Whether you’re looking to access home care services or plan for future care, our assessments help you understand what support is needed and how to access it.
- Address Safety Concerns at Home: We assess your home environment for safety risks and provide recommendations for modifications or adaptive equipment to prevent falls or accidents.
- Access Aged Care Services: Our assessments help older adults and their families navigate the aged care system by providing the documentation needed to access government-funded aged care services or private care options.
What’s Involved in an Aged Care Assessment?
In addition to therapy services, we offer specialised assessments to help NDIS participants access the funding and supports they need to achieve their goals.
- Initial Consultation: We start by discussing your goals, challenges, and any specific concerns you may have about your daily living and care needs. This helps us tailor the assessment to your situation.
- Physical and Cognitive Evaluation: Our Occupational Therapists assess your physical abilities (mobility, balance, strength) and cognitive functions (memory, decision-making) to identify areas where assistance is required.
- Daily Living Skills Assessment: We evaluate how you manage essential daily tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, household chores, and community involvement.
- Home Environment Assessment: We assess your home to identify any safety hazards, such as fall risks or mobility challenges. We provide recommendations for home modifications, such as grab rails, ramps, or accessible furniture, to improve safety and comfort.
- Comprehensive Report: After the assessment, we provide a detailed report with our findings and recommendations. This report can be used to access government-funded aged care services, develop a care plan, or make necessary home modifications.

Aged Care Assessments Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Aged Care Assessment?
An Aged Care Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an older adult’s physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities to determine the level of support needed for daily living.
These assessments focus on identifying challenges with mobility, personal care, safety, and home accessibility, offering practical solutions and recommendations for care services or home modifications.
Aged care assessments are essential for those looking to access government-funded aged care services or develop a care plan to manage their changing needs as they age.
Is an Aged Care Assessment Covered by Medicare?
Aged Care Assessments are often funded through government programs, such as the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) for individuals seeking access to home care packages or residential care.
While Medicare does not typically cover private Occupational Therapy assessments for aged care, government-funded programs like ACAT provide free assessments for eligible individuals. For those seeking private assessments, our Occupational Therapy services can be included under certain private health insurance plans, or funded through NDIS for eligible participants.
We recommend discussing your options with your healthcare provider or support coordinator to determine the best funding pathway for your needs.
