Our Aged Services Emergency Team (ASET) Service

ASET is based in the Emergency Departments (ED) of AWH. ASET Care Coordinators are responsible for providing expert, appropriate and coordinated screening, comprehensive assessment, and care planning of people over 60 years of age, with the aim of preventing otherwise avoidable re-admissions to AWH and re-presentations to EDs and contributing to the effective flow of patients through E.Ds.

ASET works with other AWH and non-AWH services to provide clinical / professional leadership in advocating for the care of older people, the development of appropriate clinical pathways, protocols, policy, and models of care, which are informed by evidence-based practice and local clinical research. With the expansion of the Albury Emergency Department in 2024, the ASET service will be extending their operational impact, while maintaining an ongoing service across both Emergency Departments.
