Switch Home Care Providers in the
Mid North Coast
Are you a client of MidCoast Assist looking for a
new home care package provider?
With the unexpected transition of MidCoast Assist out of providing ageing and disability services in the Mid Coast region, there arises a critical need for reliable and compassionate care providers to step in and ensure continuity of support for aged care clients. In such a pivotal moment of uncertainty and concern for the elderly population relying on these services, Bannister In Home Care would like to put our hand up and say
“We can help”
MidCoast Assist is an aged care and disability support service operated by MidCoast Council. In February 2024 Council made the decision to transition out of ageing and disability services. We will soon be calling for proposals from providers to take on the delivery of ageing and disability services to current MidCoast.
This is the statement on the council’s decision here:
“MidCoast Council has made the decision to transition out of the delivery of ageing and disability services following yesterday’s Council meeting. The decision will see Council call for proposals from providers to take on the delivery of ageing and disability services to current MidCoast Assist clients and participants .Council’s Director of Liveable Communities, Paul De Szell, explained MidCoast Assist was a legacy function of the former Great Lakes Council and began in the 1990s when other government funded providers withdrew from the Local Government Area. The objective was to provide services to the community which were not otherwise being provided by the community services sector, he said. “Since that time there have been significant changes to legislation and the introduction of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). That means today there are multiple providers (large and small) of both ageing and disability services located in the MidCoast region. “
Mr De Szell said as a result of the constantly changing landscape, MidCoast Assist has been under periodic review to ensure it was a viable part of Council’s activities. Ageing and disability services are a discretionary service rather than a core Council business like roads, water and sewer, planning functions and waste management. Mr De Szell did stress that there should be no concerns in the community or from clients, participants or staff that services from MidCoast Assist will just disappear. “At this point in time there are no changes to our services. We will continue to deliver services to our clients and participants as we currently do. “We take our responsibility to our staff, clients, participants and their carers and families very seriously. “Our aim through this process is to get the best possible outcomes for our staff, clients and participants and transition the delivery of services to other providers as seamlessly as possible.”
