‘I would never have been interested in Victorian clothing back in Scotland, because people would look at those clothes and say, “Don’t be silly, you can’t make that, that’s just a waste of money,” so, I’ve got Australia to thank for my sewing.’

Navigating the world of aged care can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding wait times for Home Care Packages. These packages provide essential support to help older Australians live independently in their own homes. However, the time between being approved for a Home Care Package and actually receiving one can vary widely.
The Australian Network on Disability reports that 1 in 5 Australians have a disability, and the likelihood of disability increases with age. In fact, 2 in 5 disabled people are 65 years or older.
