Share your experience and help shape the Victorian sector response.
The SSD Connect Alliance and Victorian SSD partners invite First Nations CHSP and Support at Home providers across Victoria to contribute to a submission to the Support at Home Senate Inquiry.
We’re hosting a series of roundtables to hear directly from Victorian CHSP providers about the opportunities, risks and practical considerations involved in the transition from CHSP to Support at Home.
Your input will help ensure the experiences of providers delivering services across metro, regional, rural and remote communities are reflected in the sector feedback provided to the Inquiry.
We’ll cover
Discussion topics may include:
Access to services so older people can live safely and with dignity at home
Co-contributions and affordability
Pricing pressures and financial impacts
Thin markets, including rural and remote contexts
Transition from Home Care Packages
Impacts on First Nations communities
Impacts across the broader aged care and hospital systems
These topics align with the Senate Inquiry Terms of Reference and the Government’s provider consultation process.
Who should attend?
This online roundtable is intended for managers and senior leaders of First Nations CHSP and Support at Home-funded organisations.
Limit: two registrations per organisation.
If you’re in Echuca, you can attend the in-person roundtable on 14 May with the Loddon Mallee Hume Aboriginal Regional Network (LMHARN). Contact Aunty Vicki Walker
If you can’t make one of the First Nations sessions, you are welcome to attend a mainstream session.
What to expect
Each session will be facilitated, practical and discussion based. You’ll have the opportunity to share examples from your organisation, hear issues raised by others, and contribute to a broader conversation about how the reforms may affect providers and the people they support.
Important: You must join from your own laptop with a working camera and microphone. Group or boardroom attendance is not suitable for roundtable discussions, as each participant needs individual access to contribute to the chat and discussion activities.
Meet your facilitators
These roundtables will be facilitated by Jennene Buckley and Tash Edwards from Enkindle Consulting. With deep experience in aged care reform, strategy, workforce and service design, they bring practical insight and strong sector knowledge to these conversations.
