In response to recent Commonwealth reforms in the aged and disability sector, councils delivering aged and disability services have needed to review their role to understand how best to continue supporting older people and people living with a disability now and into the future.
Council identified significant unmet and emerging social needs for our 55 and over communities including changing aspirations, increased rates of feeling lonely and isolated, higher rates of elder abuse and a steady increase in older people accessing specialist homelessness services. The Living and Ageing Well Action Plan details Council's plan to address these issues, ensuring the right infrastructure and services are in place for all residents to live and age well in Casey now and into the future.
