Aged Care

[ezcol_2third]
Who are we?

Laynhapuy Homelands Aged Care provides services to older people in the homelands through home care packages tailored to their needs in a culturally appropriate way. Home care packages are funded by the Commonwealth Government.

Where we work

We operate throughout all our Laynhapuy homelands, whereever our older people are located. Laynhapuy Homelands Aged Care has a full time co-ordinator with casual assistance from a Yolngu employee. It is based in the Yirrkala office, where older people are able to pop in for a cuppa, a yarn, and to discuss anything we can help them with.
