Aged care

Around 25 per cent of the Redlands population is aged 55 years and over. By 2016, this will rise to nearly a third.

Our aged care sector covers a range of activities and services:
  • retirement villages 
  • residential aged care (low and high level care) 
  • in-home care services 
  • respite (centre-based and in-home) 
  • health and medical services 
  • social activities

Aged Care Assessment Team

The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) provides assessment, information, advice and assistance to older people who are frail and wish to remain at home, who are considering moving to an aged residential care facility or would like to access residential respite.

The ACAT for Redland residents can be accessed through the Bayside Aged & Disability Help Line (Redland Hospital) 8.00am - 4.30pm on 3488 4226.

To find ACAT providers in other areas, contact the Aged and Community Care Information Line 1800 500 853.
