Council has confirmed its in-principle decision to transition from aged and disability services at the March ordinary Council meeting.
The in-principle decision to transition was made at the November meeting last year after significant reforms were introduced in the aged and disability services industry making it difficult for Council to meet new requirements without significant change and increased cost to clients.
As part of the due diligence process, Council has undertaken a confidential Expression of Interest (EOI) to seek potential values-aligned successors and has notified the Commonwealth of the EOI recommendations. Council now waits on Commonwealth acknowledgement, appointment decision and transition timeframe.
There will be no immediate change to the services provided by Council.
Staff are still here to support clients and will do so during the transition process so if you or your family have any questions, please get in touch with staff.
