PATIENT ASSISTED TRAVEL SCHEME (PATS)
The Patient Assisted Travel Scheme (PATS) provides permanent country residents in a WA Country Health Service region with financial assistance when travelling more than 100kms to access the nearest eligible medical specialist service (including Telehealth).
Country patients needing to travel more than 70kms to access specialist medical treatment for cancer or dialysis, where the health service is unable to provide a transport service, are also eligible for some assistance.
PATS provides a subsidy to eligible patients, however it does not cover all costs associated with travel and accommodation.
To access PATS a referral must be made by the patient’s medical practitioner. The application for PATS assistance needs to be lodged prior to travel via fax, mail, email or in person at the patient’s nearest health service.

HACC - HOME & COMMUNITY CARE PROGRAM
The Western Australian Home and Community Care (HACC) Program is a joint funding initiative of the Commonwealth and WA State Governments which provides basic support services for eligible people of all ages with a disability and their carers to assist them to continue living independently at home.
HACC support is designed to assist people with the greatest need and aims to maximise people’s independence. This includes providing basic support for people:
• Transport assistance to help you attend appointments and travel around the community
• to participate in social activity in a group or one-on-one
• with everyday household tasks
• to enhance nutrition, function, strength, independence and safety
• to support independence in personal care activities such as showering and dressing
• to keep up with essential activities such as shopping, banking and maintaining social contacts
For information about the HACC Program and other community care services including eligibility screening, referrals for individual assessment, contact the Regional Assessment Service on 1300 785 415.
