“Clients of community care services and their carers identified a number of strategies for delivering improved services in the future:
More accessible, effective information on community care services.
Information on community care services should focus on three areas:
– information for people who are new to community care and do not currently receive services;
– information for people who currently use community care services, making them aware of other services that are available; and
– information provided to people in a means they can understand, considering older people and people from a CALD background.
Improved linkages between community care services and other programs. In particular, a focus on improving the linkages with health care services, residential care and the Aids and Equipment Program. For example, health care professionals and broader aged care community organisations be used/trained better to provide information on community care services and to identify the need for services early, before clients and carers reach crisis point.
Greater coordination in the administration of community care programs. The aim should be to spend less on administration and more on service provision.” “Clients of community care services and their carers identified a number of strategies for delivering improved services in the future:
