The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) Single Assessment Service (SAS) is a multidisciplinary team providing assessment services to clients in both the community and the hospital setting. The team also assists with the formulation of care plans to meet the needs of the client and their carer, according to Department of Health and My Aged Care Assessment Manual.

Where a care type under the Act is identified as the most appropriate type of support to meet the client's needs, and the client meets the eligibility criteria; the assessor will make a recommendation for approval.

A client may be approved for a Home Care Package, Residential Care, Residential Respite Care or Adaptable Care. Clients may also be referred to other Commonwealth funded services.

Recent aged care experience in conducting assessments would be an advantage.
