Boroondara Council hands over aged care reins to mecwacare
Not For Profit aged care provider mecwacare will take over the aged care services of City of Boroondara Council in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Council will transfer its services to mecwacare on 1 August, saying that the Federal Government’s Support at Home program has made it unfeasible to continue providing them, but that it will work to support staff and clients during the transition.
“The needs and care of our community is our top priority. Transitioning CHSP services across to mecwacare will make sure clients can access a greater range of services which can be tailored as their support requirements change.
Many local councils, especially in Victoria, are also handing over aged care services to other providers.
