Assessments by ACAT - no age limit - Australia

ACAT Assessments - no age limit

ACAT assessment not limited to over 65 years of age. Sadly more young people are diagnosed with dementia. If someone is unwell and needs assistance they should be assessed regardless of the age and illness

Carers should not be killing themselves caring for a spouse who is too young for ACAT, not mentally ill enough for ACAT not disabled enough for NDIS not close enough to death for palliative care but ill enough and demented enough to require round the clock care

Need more programs for young onset dementia and reduce the stigma
