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 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.
Wellways is one of the new Carer Gateway service providers in Queensland and COTA Queensland’s team met recently with the community engagement officer for the Wide Bay area. With the Queensland team now in place they are keen to connect with carers across the state.
