Home care for senior residents under review

Consultation has concluded

Promoting community wellbeing in the City of Maribyrnong sits at the heart of our work.

We offer a range of programs to support independent living, community inclusion and an age friendly environment for senior residents.

Home support

With funding from the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, Maribyrnong City Council is able to provide subsidised in-home care to assist senior residents. This includes everything from cooking and cleaning, through to valuable social support.

Funding changes

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) funding model is now being amended by the Australian Government to be client driven. Like many service providers, this will effect how we fund in-home care come July 2019.

We're taking this opportunity to proactively review the services we offer.

We want your thoughts

To kick this off, please share your ideas and aspirations below for how Maribyrnong City Council can best support you and the creation of an age friendly environment into the future

PLEASE NOTE:

The CHSP in Maribyrnong Public Meeting due to be held on Saturday, 18 November has been postponed to a later date. Council will be advertising a new session in the near future. We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you at the future event. Please continue to share your ideas and aspirations for how Maribyrnong City Council can best support you and an age friendly environment into the future.
