Welfare of Seniors

Better Together’s Allied Health Case Manager works to ensure that support is available for older people aged 65 years and over (or 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) as part of our commitment to the  Commonwealth Home Support Program. Seniors who use the My Aged Care Service can get a referral to enter this program with us.

This helps Seniors who need assistance with daily living to continue living independently at home and in the community.

This service aims to help people to regain or maintain their physical, functional and cognitive abilities in order to support or maintain and/or recover a level of independence so they can continue to remain living in the community.

At all times, the Better Together Case Manager will ensure the client is in the ‘driver’s seat’ and is the expert in their own life, goals and needs.
