Yarra Ranges Council transfers in-home services to aged care providers



Following a decision made by Yarra Ranges Council in August 2021, domestic assistance, personal and respite care, individual social support, home modifications and property maintenance (lawn mowing and gutter cleaning) will be in the hands of Villa Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH), MiCare and Uniting AgeWell as of 1 July 2022.

Aged and Disability Services clients were notified of this change in September 2021, made to reflect changes to the aged care sector.

In the coming days, all clients will be receiving a letter informing them of their new provider and will be contacted directly by their new provider to discuss their ongoing arrangements for services.

If affected individuals would like more information on the transition, please contact Yarra Ranges Council on 1300 368 333 and ask to speak to an Aged and Disability Services Information and Navigation Support Officer.
