South Eastern Sydney Local Health District has advised the HSU of a proposed restructure of the Aged Care Assessment Program (ACAP).

The current ACAP structure has 55 full time equivalent (FTE), of which 41.63 FTE are temporary. The District claims that permanent staff will be matched to a suitable position in the new structure and retain their permanent status. Under the new structure, the remaining vacant positions would then be filled by an Expression of Interest process among existing ACAP staff from SESLHD, CHCK and WMH.

Under the proposed restructure, ACAP and RAS will transition from programs managed and delivered by POWH, TSH, PaCH, CHCK and WMH to a single SESLHD program managed by PaCH. The Unified ACAP would be one service, comprising of two teams, located in the north and south of SESLHD.
