Consumer Directed Care
Direct Care Australia is all about choice and control. We are committed to giving individuals and their carers a greater say in the type of care that an individual will receive and who provides them with those services. With this in mind, DCA’s priority is to ensure people we support have regular visits from our skilled, qualified and nurturing support workers.
We focus on building relationships and on building trust.
From preparing delicious meals to having lively chats over a cuppa or going for a gentle daily walk in nature and the nurturing companionship of a regular visitor, we know how much these simple regular activities lengthen the life of the ones we love.
