What is Access and Support?
The Access and Support service helps people who have diverse needs and who have difficulty finding out about services or getting the services they need.
The Access and Support service provides short term support for frail older people, younger people with a disability, and their carers, who:
- Need help to stay living at home
- Have diverse needs
- Need help to access services.
If you, or someone you are caring for is Aboriginal, culturally and linguistically diverse or financially disadvantaged, or has dementia, or lives in an isolated or remote area, and has trouble accessing services, an Access and Support worker may be able to help you.
Support from an Access and Support worker is confidential. No fees are charged for Access and Support.
