Specialisations
Everyone receiving government-funded aged care is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, and to have their identity, culture, and diversity valued. Some providers also tailor their services, staff, and organisation to meet the needs of specific groups. This page outlines the care specialisations of this provider, and other steps they have taken to support equitable care.
