As a trusted aged care provider serving Melbourne’s west for more than 30 years, Doutta Galla welcomed the Federal Government’s recent Budget commitment to deliver more home care packages for older Australians.
With the current in-home care waitlist of more than 100,000 people, Doutta Galla is well placed to assist in delivering vital care and support when packages become available given our investment in creating a team of professionals with significant clinical care capability.
Doutta Galla’s CEO, Glenn Rappensberg explains, “We appreciate with the transformational change occurring in the sector that there is much to be done to meet the demand for care at home in the community.
“The team at Doutta Galla is ready to meet this demand to ensure older people can live with dignity and choice. We look forward to working with the Government to deliver on their promise of providing more in-home care packages.
“We believe this is a critical time for many in our community, especially here in the West as more people seek to remain in their own homes, living safely and independently.
“As a provider of a wide range of services – across residential aged care, in-home care services, and independent living – we have significant expertise in ensuring older people receive the high-quality care they need across all life stages.
“Our priority is providing access to aged care services that are affordable and inclusive of people with diverse experiences and backgrounds. Doutta Galla will be ready to provide the care people need at home, once packages are available,” he said.
