provider shines above

COMMUNITY Interlink is a shining beacon in community support, according to a Community Interlink service recipient and their carer.

Such commendation is frequently received by the organisation, according to Tricia Van De Paverd, acting divisional director, community care of the consortium’s lead agency, GV Health.

“We receive a phenomenal number of compliments every year,” Ms Van De Paverd said.

“Community Interlink is a local, public health service alliance that people know they can trust. That’s especially important in the new open Home Care Package market where profit-driven private providers now exist.”

When the consortium formed in 2015, it was thought to be an Australian-first and involved the major health providers and hospitals in the Hume and Southern Riverina regions and smaller regional providers like the Euroa Health and Benalla Health services all taking action ahead of 2017 reforms to home care.

“The consortium’s shared philosophy and commitment to supporting local people with local services, local health jobs and local businesses, benefits the entire region,” Ms Van De Paverd said.

“We hire only thoroughly checked, reputable businesses, to support our clients who provide services such as home maintenance, gardening, cleaning, personal care and allied health therapies.”

Community Interlink was awarded the 2019 Victorian Public Healthcare Awards ‘Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers Award’ for excellence in public sector aged care.
