As we have previously announced Community Options is exiting the direct provision of aged care services. We are currently undertaking the process of supporting all our Home Care Package clients to transition to new providers and we anticipate this process to be completed by the end of April. As soon as the Commonwealth appoints a provider/s to take over our current CHSP funding we will commence the process to transition all of these clients to new providers, we anticipate this process will be completed by 30 June 2025. Additionally, we are reducing our role as a provider of NDIS Support Coordination with a focus on supporting existing long-term clients and working with new clients in a targeted and outcome focussed way.
Once these processes are complete Community Options ACT will continue to provide important community support services to the ACT and region community.
In this new environment we will continue to offer independent, grassroots case management services that will build on our three decades of dedicated service to our community.
We will continue to focus on supporting at-risk individuals and families across various sectors.
Community Options has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality, personalised case management to the Canberra community for over 30 years. Community Options grassroots approach ensures that every client receives tailored support, addressing their unique needs and circumstances. This commitment to individualised case management has been the cornerstone of Community Options' mission and will continue to guide its operations.
We remain committed to putting people first, as we always have. Our focus is on ensuring that every individual and family we support receives the care, dignity, and professionalism they deserve while we look at other funding opportunities to allow Community Options to continue to support some of Canberra’s most vulnerable people.
Community Options will continue to be a vital resource for those in need, offering comprehensive case management services that include:
Personalised Support Plans: Developing customised case management plans that cater to the specific needs of each client.
Advocacy and Assistance: Helping clients navigate complex systems and access necessary resources and services.
Community Engagement: Building strong relationships with local service providers and stakeholders to ensure a holistic approach to care.
As a not-for-profit organisation, Community Options prioritises people over profits, ensuring that the community continues to receive the highest standard of care. Community Options grassroots ethos will remain at the heart of its operations, providing a reliable and compassionate support system for
at-risk individuals and families.
