Barwon Regional Aged Care Assessment Service


The role of the Aged Care Assessment Service is to comprehensively assess the needs
of frail older people and facilitate access to available care services appropriate to their
care needs. ACAS’s are the only agencies able to approve older people for
Commonwealth Government funded residential care, residential respite, Community Aged Care Packages and Flexible care.



ACAS’s are available throughout Australia. The Barwon Regional Aged Care Assessment Service (BRACAS) covers the municipalities of City of Greater Geelong, Surf Coast Shire, Colac Otway Shire and Borough of Queenscliff.
