Awabakal Aged Care Services is a comprehensive program that offers quality services to our community.
Awabakal Aged Care Services staff will work with you to develop what is known as ‘My Story’. This will include asking questions about your family, your history and your health.
This is where you are able to discuss what is important to you, any worries you have about your health, what you might need to help improve your day to day life and what kind of support you require.
Based on your story, Awabakal will help with building a ‘plan’ for you. This plan will be tailored to your individual needs and will incorporate the services you will require.
Our Aged Care Team is dedicated to providing culturally safe, person-centred support to Aboriginal Elders and community members. We work closely with clients and their families to promote independence, wellbeing, and connection to culture.
Our core services include care coordination, home care support, advocacy, transport assistance, social connection, and guidance navigating My Aged Care and the Support at Home Program. We collaborate with clinical and community teams to ensure each client receives holistic, tailored care that meets their individual needs and goals.
With a strong commitment to enhancing quality of life, our team walks alongside Elders to ensure they feel supported, respected, and empowered every step of the way.
