Survey for Service Providers

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire as part of the Aged Care Assessment Program (ACAP) in NSW 2008 Statewide Survey. The survey is being conducted by Elton Consulting on behalf of the NSW Department of Health.

The survey is designed to assess levels of knowledge and satisfaction with ACAT processes among Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) clients and aged care service partners, in order to inform overall program quality improvement.

This questionnaire should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
