Elder Care Support
Supporting independence and wellbeing
The Elder Care Support (ECS) Program is an important program which represents a critical step towards creating a safe and high-quality approach to health and care services for Elders and older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The ECS Program aims to increase workforce capability and capacity in community-controlled aged care support, and empower the community-controlled sector to coordinate place-based care needs.
The ECS Program achieves these objectives through assisting Elders and older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families to access and navigate aged care services, and by building workforce capacity within community-controlled settings (including assisting ACCHOs and ACCOs to coordinate care and ensure culturally safe support).
