Our consultation findings were part of an in-depth review process where we considered many factors such as your feedback, our strategic goals, budget, the market conditions, the practices of other Councils, and the performance of our current services for older residents.

With this information, we have determined the best ways to support our community in living and ageing is by:

  • Delivering a range of new support services
  • Transitioning the delivery of Commonwealth Home Support Program and Home and Community Program for Younger People services to other service providers selected by the Australian Government.

We are in the process of developing new service offerings and service team to support these functions for mid 2025.

New support services

  • Community connector

    Connect the community with essential services and supports by improving service navigation, ensuring they can navigate complex systems easily.

  • Sector stewardship

    Secure and strengthen access to services through advocacy activities and strategies.

  • Community capacity building

    Educate and empower the community to be involved in the planning and development of activities and services.

  • Health and wellbeing connections

    Enhance existing service offerings across the organisation to respond to unmet social connections

  • Complementary transport service

    Provide complementary transport options to help older residents, carers, and people with disabilities to better access the services available.
