Aged Care & Community Assessments

Bodycare Aged Care Assessment Services

Bodycare’s Aged Care Assessment Team, working on behalf of the Australian Department of Health & Aged Care are an independent team of assessors under the Single Assessment System. Our team will assist older people and their carers to identify what kind of care will best meet their ongoing needs.

Our team contain a mixture of the following assessment staff:

  • Multi-disciplinary clinical staff (health professionals such as medical officers, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists)
  • Non-clinical assessor staff with expertise in the Aged and community care sector.

Our assessment team conduct both home support assessments for people needing access to entry level community support services, as well as comprehensive assessments to determine eligibility for home care packages, residential aged care services (including restorative, respite and transitional care options).

Bodycare Aged Care Assessment services operate across the Southern and Eastern Regions of Metropolitan Melbourne.
