Patient Assisted Travel Scheme - PATS

We’re making improvements to PATS

Your GP will no longer need to sign your application form.

What is changing?

  • If you have a clinical reason to support requirements outside of normal PATS Guidelines, a WA Country Health Service medical practitioner will now assess this for you.
  • There will be a new PATS application claim form.
  • This change is occurring to streamline the PATS application process making it quicker and easier for you, our staff and your GP.
