The Australian government is introducing the Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT) and a Single Assessment System to improve aged care assessments. These reforms aim to simplify the process for older Australians by:
• Reducing the need to repeat assessments: A single pathway will be used, minimising the need to tell their story multiple times.
