People can refer themselves, or they can be referred by a doctor, other health professional, a family member or friend. Referrals to Community Aged Care Packages (CACPs) and Extended Aged Care at Home (EACH) also need a referral from an Aged Care Assessment Service. Culture and language Our staff are sensitive to, and respectful of people of various cultural backgrounds and language groups. We try to cater for the particular needs of individuals, working closely with specialist services as necessary. Interpreters can be arranged if needed.
