Intereach here to help as more aged care packages roll out


Intereach has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement of 20,000 new Home Care Packages (HCP) this week.
For many older people and families across our region, it means the wait for essential support to remain living independently at home will be over.
Intereach understands how important it is for older people to live life on their terms, where they feel comfortable and connected to their community.
“Older people in our communities want to stay in the homes they love, connected to the places and people that matter most,” Intereach Co-CEO Yvette Buhagiar said.
“The release of these additional Home Care Packages means more older people in our communities can get the support they need to remain in the homes they love. Our local aged care teams are ready to support older people and their families as these HCP become available.
“Our staff live and work in the same rural and regional communities, so we understand the challenges and strengths of regional life,” Mrs Buhagiar said.
“Every day, our staff are helping local people navigate the aged care system, providing care and delivering support that is personal, compassionate, and deeply connected to community.
“At Intereach, our role is to walk beside them and their families, making the process clearer and ensuring services are shaped around Your Place, Your Pace.”
For decades, Intereach has been supporting older Australians in regional and rural areas.
Whether it’s help with daily tasks, support to get out and about, or clinical care in the home, we tailor services around individual goals so people feel safe, respected and supported.
If you or a loved one has been waiting for a Home Care Package, now is the time to reach out.
Intereach can guide you every step of the way and connect you with the right support to stay comfortable, independent and confident at home.
