Welcome to the
fourth edition of the
Clarence Get Going Guide.
Community feedback
continues to show that this
guide is a valuable resource in
helping to find out what is going on
for older people in Clarence.
2016-17
guide
With every new version, the guide continues to respond to the
various requests for new and relevant information, and this edition
is our biggest yet.
As the first Tasmanian Council to be named as an Age Friendly
City and Community by the World Health Organisation (WHO),
it is a timely recognition of Council’s efforts to involve and cater
for people at all stages of life, regardless of their ‘age’.
The Clarence Positive Ageing Advisory Committee (CPAAC),
comprised of older community residents from all areas of Clarence,
and representatives from key service providers, supports Council in
its commitment to produce this resource every two years. On behalf of CPAAC, we hope that the Get Going Guide continues
to enlighten you as to what activities are available across the City. And remember, there are many other opportunities in Clarence just
waiting for you to discover them!

Chair of the CPAAC

An Age Friendly
City and
Community
in action!
Clarence City Council joined the World
Health Organisation (WHO), Global
Network of Age friendly Cities and
Communities in 2014, as the first and
currently only Tasmanian city to do so.
The network currently includes: 210 cities
and communities in 26 countries, covering
over 88 million people worldwide.
www.ccc.tas.gov.au/positiveageing
9
Age Friendly is...
A place that enables people of all ages to actively
participate in community activities
A place that treats everyone with respect, regardless
of their age
A place that makes it easy to stay connected to those
around you and those you love
A place that helps even the oldest people stay healthy
and active
A place that helps those who can no longer look after
themselves to live with dignity and enjoyment
A place for all ages – children, youth, older people
A place for all – all ages, all abilities, and all
backgrounds
Council supports this. Instead of viewing ‘age’ as ‘old’, we place
an importance on an age-friendly spectrum in our planning
and services, such as Asset and Recreation, Children’s Services,
Youth Services, Health and Wellbeing, Cultural Arts, History and
Events, Access, and Positive Ageing.

Selecting a new home or planning
changes to an existing home?
Purchasing or planning changes to an existing
home is something that needs careful
consideration.
Some things to think about:
Choosing a location Access to services: is the home close
to transport, shops, and support services? Is it a busy street?
Finance Are the purchase/rent/alterations and maintenance
costs within your financial capabilities?
Enquire about support services.
Maintenance Is the maintenance within your physical
capabilities? Are community-based services available?

slip-resistant preferable; level car parking space and
unrestricted access to door; maintenance required:
painting, gardening, repairs; access: width of doorways, paths,
steps etc; utilities: garbage disposal etc; security: locks,
alarms, visual access, lighting.

Accessing
Information
Sometimes we don’t know what information we
need, until we need it. Now, if we have access to
a telephone and a computer we have information
available ‘at our fingertips’.
My Aged Care was introduced on 1 July 2013 to assist older
people and their families and carers to access aged care
information and services.
The My Aged Care website was established by the Australian
Government to help navigate the aged care system.
My Aged Care is part of the Australian Government’s changes
to the aged care system which have been designed to give
people more choice, more control and easier access to a full
range of aged care services.
My Aged Care is made up of a website and a contact centre.
Together they can provide you with information on aged
care for yourself, a family member, friend or someone you’re
caring for.
You can call the My Aged Care contact centre on
1800 200 422 between 8am and 8pm on weekdays
and between 10am and 2pm on Saturdays.
The My Aged Care contact centre is closed on Sundays
and national public holidays.
Or you can visit the My Aged Care website

Home Care
Services
Being able to stay living in your home and being as
independent as possible is what most people want
as they age.
Our needs change as we get older and sometimes we require
some additional support to remain living at home.

See page 24
21
What is the Age Care Assessment Team (ACAT)?
If you need some help at home or are considering moving
into an aged care home, you may first need a free assessment
by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). A member of an
ACAT will talk to you about your current situation and work
out if you are eligible to receive government-subsidised aged
care services.
You will need an ACAT assessment and approval if you have
complex aged care needs and want to:
✦ access aged care services through any level of Home
Care Package
✦ receive services through transition care
✦receive respite care in an aged care home
(sometimes known as nursing home)
✦ move into an aged care home
You will need a Home Support Assessment if you have
entry-level aged care needs and want to access services
through the Commonwealth Home Support Program,
such as meals or transport.
You won’t need a Home Support Assessment or an ACAT
assessment for aged care services that are not subsidised
by the Australian Government such as services offered by
volunteer groups and charitable organisations.

What is a Home Care Package?
The Home Care Packages Program is part of the Australian
Government’s continuum of care for older Australians. It
provide older people who want to stay at home with access
to a range of ongoing personal services, support services and
clinical care that help them with their day-to-day activities.
The Program sits in between the Commonwealth Home
Support Program (formerly known as the Home and
Community Care (HACC) Program) and Residential Aged Care.
What levels of care are available?
There are four levels of Home Care Package:
✦ Level 1 – to support people with basic care needs
✦ Level 2 – to support people with low level care needs
✦ Level 3 – to support people with intermediate care needs
✦ Level 4 – to support people with high care needs
What types of services are provided?
The services that can be provided in a Home Care Package
include, but are not limited to:
Support services – such as help with washing and ironing,
house cleaning, gardening, basic home maintenance, home
modifications related to your care needs, and transport to
help you with shopping, visit your doctor or attend social
activities
Personal care – such as help with showering or bathing,
dressing and mobility
Nursing, allied health and other clinical services – hearing
services and vision services
Care coordination and case management – helping to make
sure you receive holistic services tailored to your needs
23
What is consumer directed care?
Since 1 July 2015, all Home Care Packages are being
delivered on a Consumer Directed Care (CDC) basis.
If you are already receiving a Home Care Package, your
service provider will discuss what this means with you at the
next review of your care plan.
CDC means:
✦ you get more say in the care and package you access,
how it is delivered and who delivers it to you
✦ you will have conversations about your needs and goals
✦ you will work in partnership with your service provider
to develop your care plan
✦ you agree to the level of involvement you will have in
managing your care package
✦ you will have a greater understanding about how your
package is funded and how those funds are spent
through your individualised budget and monthly income
and expense statement
✦ your service provider will monitor and provide you with
ongoing formal reviews to ensure that your package still
meets your needs

Caring for
someone
Caring for someone at home can mean helping out with a
variety of day-to-day activities including bathing, dressing,
feeding, managing medications and/or providing transport.
You may also take on responsibilities such as banking,
shopping and paying the bills. Another important role is to
provide emotional support as well as being someone they
can talk with.

Advance Care
Planning
Advance care planning offers people the opportunity to
discuss with family members, carers, friends and health
professionals the choices for care at the end of life.
Through age, illness or accident, people may lose their
capacity to understand the nature and consequences of
proposed medical treatment. Healthcare decisions then fall
to families, friends and health professionals who may not be
aware of your wishes.
You can create an advance care plan that may include:
✦ an Advance (Health or Care) Directive
(or other similar document)
✦ an enduring power of attorney
(or other similar document)
✦ a letter to the person who will be responsible
for your decision-making
✦ an entry in your medical record
✦ instructions which clearly voice your view
The advance care planning process encourages you to reflect
on what is important to you, your beliefs, values, goals and
preferences in life. It explains how you want to be cared for if
you reach a point where you cannot communicate decisions
about your medical care. It keeps you involved in your
medical decisions, both now and in the future, whether you
are healthy or have an illness.
Each state and territory has different names for the legal
documents you can use to create an advance care plan.
