About PATS

PATS is funded by the State Government's Royalties for Regions program and is administered by WA Country Health Service. It aims to support WA country residents' access to specialist medical services wherever they live in the State.

PATS applications are assessed by regional PATS offices in line with current PATS policy and eligibility criteria. We’ve made it easy to find out if you are eligible for PATS, and what medical services you may be able to claim for.

Recipients eligible for PATS can apply for the following subsidies:

• Travel
• Accommodation
• Support person

You can access detailed information about PATS processes, as well as all the application and claims forms you need. Alternatively, please refer to the PATS Handbook.

When you are ready to lodge your application or claim, if you have any questions, or if you need more information, please contact your local PATS Office.
