Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland and Moreton Bay Regional Council are partnering to pilot a Volunteer Community Peer Navigator Program at the Bribie Island library. The program aims to empower older people and their carers.
The extra funding will see the line expanded to include outbound calls to carers of people living with dementia, as well as more specific community supports for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) seniors.
“The next four years of Government are an opportunity for future policies to be inclusive of all of us.” said Mark Tucker-Evans, COTA Queensland’s Chief Executive.
