GETTING TO GRIPSWITH
AGED CARE
Navigating the aged care sector can be confusing.There
are many services to support older people to remain at
home for longer, and there are lots of services available for
after hospital and respite care, and many things to consider
before moving into residential care.
Information sessions about the various elements of aged
care will be held at Kilburn Centre during 2018.
TheseWednesday sessions are run by experts from
various areas, and are ideal for prospective consumers,
family members, community members and those simply
seeking more information.
On 28 March, the session will cover home care packages,
aged care assessment, advocacy services and active ageing.
The 2 May session discusses planning ahead with legal
services, organ donation information, and multicultural
aged care.
On 27 June, the session will cover residential aged care
and aged care complaints.

COUNCIL GAINSWHITE RIBBON
ACCREDITATION
We have become the first Council in South Australia to
receiveWhite Ribbon accreditation, joining over120 nationally
accredited organisations that have made clear a commitment to
zero tolerance of violence against women through their public
commitment to create safer and more respectful workplaces.
White RibbonWorkplace accreditation required us to
demonstrate a whole of organisation commitment to stop
violence against women, meeting criteria under three standards.
City of PAE staff have worked hard to gain the accreditation,
which has already resulted in a new administrative policy related
to support for staff experiencing family and domestic violence,
a training program and participation in raising funds for white
ribbon charities.
Together we have taken a stand about what kind of culture we
want to create for our employees.We are seeking to improve
the overall knowledge and skills of staff to recognise and address
violence against women, and enhance Council’s reputation as a
community leader and great employer.
We are proud of this recognition and are sure it will have wider
benefit, showing we are committed to supporting respectful
relationships in the wider community.
