Thinking of going to AAT

Thinking of going to AAT

I am considering going to AAT to change my case manager and possibly my community health region. I do not think I am getting therapeutic treatment from there but I'm interested to hear responses from people that have gone to AAT.

I've tried health care complaints Commission, they told me to just try him and see how it works out. I've tried talking to the team leader, she says she only prioritises involuntary patients and basically doesn't care.

I've been hounding for a different case manager for months now and my illness has gotten worse since he came on the scene.

In saying that, this could potentially be biting the hand that literally feeds me because I'm on DSP and NDIS. I'm in a precarious position and would like some advice.

Hi @TopDeck

I just wanted to say hello.

Bureacracy is a nightmare.

Complaints processes are hard too.

I hear the issue of possibly biting the hand that feeds you. So true.

Confusing issue.

I hope someone with lived experience replies.

What are you doing to relax at this somewhat stressful time?

You do not have to share.

Hi @TopDeck

Just to clarify, what is the AAT. I'm not sure I've heard of them. I'd love to try to help with guidance. I don't believe complaining should impact your NDIS or DSP. You have every right to complain and ask for a new case manager if you are not satisfied with your care. I don't see why the TL can justify favouring involuntary people.
