Community Assistance and Temporary Supports Program

Carers ACT is proud to be a supplier for the new Community Assistance and Temporary Supports (CATS) Program.

You or the person you care for may be able to get help through CATS if you need short-term support for a health issue, illness or injury.

The support services we and others provide can help you stay well at home and may prevent you from going to hospital.

If you do go to hospital, the program can help you return home safely. These supports can also help you apply for longer-term support programs if required.
