Northern Sydney LHD are proposing a restructure of Aged Care Assessment Services across the District.

Following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, Local Health Districts are required to establish a single integrated organisational structure for the Commonwealth funded Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). NSLHD is proposing to combine the existing Aged Care Assessment Services, ACAT (including AN-ACC) and RAS under one manager to achieve one District Aged Care Assessment Service.

The proposed restructure includes position changes and location changes.
