Service Provider Orientation
Next session – Thursday 14th October 2010 9am – 11.30am.
The North Metropolitan Respite and Carelink Centre, conveniently situated in Westminster, has been hosting regular information sessions, orientating key stakeholders to the range of services provided by the Centre. These free and informative sessions on how to make the most of Carelink & Respite services and the benefits to your staff, have proven very popular with service providers, health professionals and key stakeholders delivering services to the community. You will learn about eligibility and flexibility of short term, and emergency respite services for carers, along with the range of respite programs with a Mental Health and Young Carers focus. ILC is now also the provider of the Multicultural Aged Care Service for WA and can provide you with an overview of how they can assist services in addressing the needs of aged clients from a multicultural background. Service Providers will also learn how to access their own service listings to update service availability and other details via WebClink login.
