ANZSGM President Dr John Maddison: 3rd January 2020 Interviewed on ABC Radio
National with Cathy Van Extel

The Royal Commission into Aged Care will continue this year, with its final
report to be handed down in November.

But some in the aged care sector are raising concerns about a federal government
plan to change the aged care assessment process before the royal commission
hands down its findings.

PRESS RELEASE

Changes to Aged Care Assessment Teams will have a negative impact on the care of
older Australians.

The Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine (ANZSGM is calling
on the Federal Government to reconsider its proposed changes to Aged Care
Assessment arrangements due to be implemented from April 2021.

Aged Care Assessments are an older person’s first step in accessing the
psychological and clinical assessments required in order to access home or
residential aged care. Under the Government’s planned changes, the process will
merge two assessment workforces currently operating independently - Regional
Assessment Service who assess need and Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACATS) who
assess eligibility for services.

“These changes will have a significant detrimental impact on the care of the
most vulnerable older Australians and their access to high quality expert care
by limiting any meaningful involvement of geriatricians along with specialist
nursing and allied health services in this process, “ said ANZSGM President Dr
John Maddison.      READ MORE……..
