ABOUT THE ROLE
This position plays a pivotal role in the delivery of the Aged Care Assessment Program (ACAP). The focus of the role is to conduct assessments to work out whether an older person is eligible for government-subsidised aged care. Assessors visit the older person's home or hospital to:

* Decide on the types of services they may be eligible for
* Create a goal-oriented support plan based on their care needs and preferences.
All assessors use the My Aged Care assessor portal to manage referrals, record comprehensive assessments, develop support plans, recommend services, record approvals for care, refer a person for services, and review and update central client records.
