The Aged Care Advocacy Program (ACAP) is dedicated to upholding and promoting the rights and well-being of seniors within our community. Established to bridge the gap between aged care services and the individuals they serve, ACAP acts as a vital link, ensuring that elderly individuals receive the quality care and support they deserve.
Mirroring the successful model of community-focused advocacy, the ACAP customizes its initiatives to address the specific needs of the local senior population. A dedicated Aged Care Advocate serves as a central point of contact, offering crucial information and support to seniors, their families, aged care providers, healthcare professionals, and community organizations.
The Aged Care Advocate actively engages in a range of community activities and specialized projects with the core objectives of:
- Clarifying the Landscape of Aged Care Regulations: Disseminating clear and accessible information regarding the regulations and standards governing aged care services.
- Empowering Seniors and Families with Knowledge: Providing the public and families with comprehensive information about their rights within the aged care system and available advocacy resources.
- Connecting Seniors to Essential Support Networks: Acting as a crucial liaison to aged care resource and referral agencies, ensuring seamless access to necessary services.
- Fostering Collaboration Across Stakeholders: Serving as a bridge between businesses, healthcare groups, aged care provider organizations, resource and referral agencies, and various other programs dedicated to senior well-being.
- Strengthening Community-Based Aged Care Infrastructure: Assisting local government and community agencies in their efforts to build capacity and enhance the quality of aged care services, thereby ensuring the widespread availability of high-standard care.
- Facilitating Resolution of Concerns and Complaints: Providing support in coordinating and addressing complaints and concerns raised on behalf of seniors within aged care settings, ensuring their voices are heard and acted upon.
ACAP operates under the guidance of leading community service organizations committed to enhancing the lives of older adults.
