COTA Australia provides advocacy, information and services to all older Australia to promote, improve and protect the wellbeing of older people in our country.
One of its recent initiatives is the Aged Care Navigator Service Trial.
This includes:
- Assistance to contact My Aged Care
- Help to fill out forms
- Community workshops and information sessions
Led by COTA Australia, the trial is designed to test different services and activities that may help people learn more about Australian Government-funded aged care services and how to best access them.
COTA has partnered with 30 organisations as part of the pilot and is evaluating 64 different Navigator trials across the country.
It’s a valuable resource for Village Professionals and your residents, and it’s available to older people, their families, friends and anyone else who wants to link with aged care supports.
