Umbrella Multicultural Community Care Services Inc.

“Being part of Umbrella means belonging to a fun and caring multicultural family.”

WHAT DO WE DO?

All of our aged care programs and services, including Home and Community Care (HACC) and the new Home Care Packages, are designed to assist older people to remain living independently in their homes by giving them the flexibility and choice of how their care and support will be provided.  We recognise each client’s specific needs and acknowledge gender, age, religious, interest and cultural background.

WHO ARE WE?

In 2000, a group of dedicated people from multicultural backgrounds had a dream. They wanted to create an independent, community based organisation to look after their people. They wanted to be inclusive of all communities and to have everyone under one UMBRELLA. Today, Umbrella Inc. provides services to more than 500 seniors from 52 different countries in the Perth metropolitan area and Peel region. We offer over 20 various innovative and culturally appropriate aged care services under one umbrella of quality, value and personalised care.

Umbrella’s leading innovations in the delivery of high quality and culturally appropriate services to elderly from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) and sexuality and gender diverse (LGBTI+) backgrounds have resulted in receiving the Award in the Small Provider Category at the 2016 ACSWA Excellence in Care Award.

At Umbrella, we believe that everyone has an equal right to enjoy their “Golden Years”. We believe that language, gender identity, culture or financials should not be a barrier to accessing quality services.
