We support people with diverse needs.
There are many services available within the community to support you living independently.
However, you may find it difficult to access these services on your own if you have diverse needs.
We support people with diverse needs by catering to their requirements and removing any barriers that are stopping them from getting the help they require.
Would you benefit from Access & Support services?
Our Access & Support team can help you by listening to your individual needs and making Home Care and Community Support options more accessible to you.
Some of the people we help are:
-
Culturally and linguistically diverse, including non-English speaking

Living in rural or remote areas
-
Financially or socially disadvantaged
-
Veterans (including spouses, widows, and widowers)
-
Homeless or at risk of becoming homeless
-
