Person-centred
iLA's approach to these assessments is grounded in authenticity, with a strong focus on the individual.
Single Assessment System
Supporting greater independence across Western Australia.
Aged care assessments
The Single Assessment System will simplify and improve the experience of older people as they enter aged care and access services.
The flexible new system will provide a single assessment pathway that can quickly adapt to a person’s changing needs, including:
- Aged Care Assessments (ACA): this includes Home Support Assessments and Comprehensive Assessments, and
- Residential Aged Care (RAC) Funding Assessments: this involves assessments to inform funding under the Australian National Aged Care Classification (AN-ACC) model.
Supporting independence
At iLA our commitment to an authentic, person-centred approach is reflected in our delivery of these assessments, supporting older Australians wishing to access the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP).
The CHSP is Australia’s national funding program to help older people stay independent, and in their homes and communities.
To receive CHSP funding, you need to:
1. Register with My Aged Care: Opens in new window, and
2. Have an Aged Care Assessment
How to register with My Aged Care
To register, call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or apply for an assessment online: Opens in new window. Have your Medicare card ready and allow at least 10 minutes to go through the questions they will ask.
If you are a carer or family member supporting someone to navigate My Aged Care, you will need their consent to speak on their behalf.
If eligible, My Aged Care (MAC) will refer you for an assessment with an iLA team member to work out your care needs and what types of care you can access.
