ECCQ is part of the Aged Care Navigators Trial established by the Australian Government to help older Australians learn more about government-supported aged care programs and how to access them.
With funding from the Brisbane South Primary Health Network, ECCQ is assisting by making aged care information available and relevant to culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Information sessions are currently being delivered across the Brisbane South region.
We have run sessions to the Arabic, Samoan, Korean and Vietnamese communities this financial year, and we plan on reaching more groups. Community members have gained valuable information about the ‘My Aged Care’ service, how to register and access services. Some have been able to gain support from the Specialist Support Worker in troubleshooting their current My Aged Care plans.
For more information on the Aged Care Navigators Trial, please contact our Program Officer, Lindi Mpala, on 3255 1540 or lindim@eccq.com.au.
The Aged Care Navigators Trial is delivered as part of a consortium led by COTA Australia and funded by the Australian Government. For more information, go to www.agedcarenavigators.com.au.
