Brokerage Program

The Aged Care brokerage service provides a flexible and innovative range of quality support options through trained staff. These services are usually requested through external agencies..

The service supports clients in a wide range of settings including in-home and within the community. This support can be provided during the day, evenings, overnights and weekends.

Monies are sourced from external agencies to fund this service. The brokerage service has established a good working relationship with the following brokering services:

• Department of Ageing, Disability & Home Care (DADHC) Community Support Workers
• Tweed Shire Community Options Program (COPS)
• Flexible Respite Options Consortium (FROC)

Target Group: Carers of frail aged persons and those experiencing dementia or a related disorder.

Access to Service: Access to brokerage services is generally through one of the above brokering services, however clients contacting us directly can be put in touch with these services through our referral system.

Cost of Program: Some of the brokering services do request a contribution however inability to pay would not mean support could not be provided.
