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.
We have seen what change is possible when bureaucratic barriers are removed, shared wellbeing is valued above perceived differences, and a spirit of collaboration is encouraged.
The mental health and wellbeing of senior Australians is a priority during this time. There are a range of supports available if you, or one of your clients, are feeling isolated, worried or need someone to talk to.
