Aged Care Services

We support and care for people from culturally diverse backgrounds who are aged to enable them to continue to live independently through the provision of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and the Home Care Package (HCP).  Our services are culturally sensitive and recognise the unique role that language, ethnicity, religion and culture play as a person grows older.  

Our Aged Care Service staff speak more than 20 languages and can help guide you through the assessment process. If we don’t have an employee who speaks your language a professional interpreter can be provided upon request.
