The Continence Aids Assistance Scheme (CAAS) Data Dictionary has been developed by the AIHW on behalf of the Department of Health and Ageing. The CAAS assists people of working age who have permanent incontinence resulting from a permanent disability, to defray the cost of continence management. This Dictionary provides definitions for the information collected from applicants, required from health professionals involved in assessing applicants, and used by those managing the Scheme. Careful attention has been given to aligning the definitions in this Dictionary with relevant national standards in the National Community Services Data Dictionary and National Health Data Dictionary.
