Over five remote communities in the Victoria Daly Region consumers ranging from 50 – 90 years of aged have been supported on a weekly basis through Aged Care service

  • CHSP – Commonwealth Home Support Program
  • HCP – Home Care Package
  • NATSIFAC – National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care  .

Significant developments have occurred across the NDIS and Aged Care sector including upgrades to facilities and wheel chair accessible buses. 

Our Indigenous staffing team believe ”There is no one better positioned to care for the Aging members of our remote communities than the community itself – our Communities are built on care that values and enables our elders to contribute and continue to find value purpose and meaning.”
