Aged & Disability Team
Children, Youth & Families Team
The Children, Youth and Families Team are a multidisciplinary team consisting of Family Support Services, Speech Pathology, Nursing/Midwifery, Counselling, Youth Work and Nutrition. The team provide a holistic service to families.
Chronic Care Team
The chronic conditions team is a multidisciplinary team that is looking at ways to improve access, service delivery and management, for people with long-term conditions. Chronic conditions can encompass any condition or disease that can affect a person’s physical or mental health, over an extended period of time.
Our team currently is trialling a new behaviour -change model of service delivery for chronic disease. It incorporates techniques of self management and health coaching. This involves working on client goals and working with clients, to improve health and lifestyle, by making small behavioural changes.
To help improve our community's health information and prevention, our team conducts Diabetes screening sessions, LIFE – diabetes prevention series and Living with Diabetes courses for people with diabetes.
By improving client’s self management skills, it can lead to better and healthier lifestyles and better management of chronic disease.
Diversity Team
The Diversity team is a multidisciplinary team with practitioners from Podiatry, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Community Midwifery, Nursing, Casework/Counselling and Refugee Support. It has been established to recognise and foster the diversity and complexity of people’s lives and health needs. It is working towards a service and programs that are inclusive and responsive of factors such as Aboriginality, cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, gender, sexual identity and orientation and socioeconomic status.
