At Eldercare, our allied health staff work as part of a multidisciplinary team to help you maintain optimum health and mobility and support your overall wellbeing.

Depending on your individual needs, our allied health professionals can assist you with:

• Preventative measures to promote healthy ageing and reduce the impact of chronic conditions, and
• Rehabilitative treatments to help you regain function after injury, illness or hospitalisation.

Eldercare is proud to have launched its short film which challenges the stereotyping of LGBTI people and provides insightful information to aged care employees about LGBTI issues, specifically those affecting the older population.

The short film was created as a tool for staff training to debunk the myths that are still out there surrounding Eldercare’s LGBTI residents, staff, volunteers and families and build on the cultural safety and consumer engagement that was a key strength of the organisation’s Rainbow Tick accreditation, achieved in September 2019. In the film, Eldercare staff and members of the LGBTI Advisory Group answer questions that they’ve seen for the first time when they are in front of the camera.

This project is supported by funding from the Office for Ageing Well through the Grants for Seniors program. The film was also made possible through sponsorship by Eldercare suppliers Veolia and Atlas McNeil.
