Aged Care Navigators Trial arrives in the South East

Older South Australians living in the state’s South East who are finding it difficult to navigate the aged care system now have access to a new support system as part of the newAged Care Navigators Trial project.

Announced in February by Minister for Aged Care, the Hon Ken Wyatt, the trial will see information hubs and specialist support workers provide personalised support to vulnerable older members of the community across the country, and COTA SA is charged with delivering the service in the South East.
