Care finder program

Care finders provide face-to-face support to help older people navigate and access aged care.

The program is designed to help those people who have no carer or support person to help them.

To receive care finder support, clients must be eligible for Government funded aged care services and should also have one or more reasons for requiring intensive support. This could include communication issues, difficulty understanding or making decisions, reluctance to engage with aged care or government services, or will be in an unsafe situation if they do not receive intensive support.

Care Finder Housing and Homelessness Guide

The Care finder Housing and Homelessness Guide has been developed to serve as a practical resource for care finders across the Brisbane North PHN region. It aims to enhance their understanding of the housing sector, enabling them to provide more appropriate supports to their clients.

Commissioned by Brisbane North PHN, Footprints Community has developed this practical guide to direct care finders and other aged care service providers to specific resources, regional services and practical guidance that can be applied in their daily work supporting clients with housing and support.
