Aged Care
SETAC is an approved aged care provider, and we deliver;
- Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), and
- Home Care Package services.
We also provide respite care and aged care on behalf of other aged care service providers.
South East Tasmania Aboriginal Corporation (SETAC) for Elders has been providing aged care services to people living in the Huon Valley and South East Tasmania since the 1990’s. The service was started by concerned community members who could see there was a need to support their Elders in the community.
These volunteer community members chopped wood, cleaned homes provided food packages and social support until the program grew and received funds to deliver aged care services funded by the mainstream Commonwealth Government aged care programs.
We expanded our service delivery to all eligible people living in the Huon Valley and South East Tasmania. Our service is based in Cygnet, so we understand the local region and the needs of our community. We can provide the services you need in a way that suits your lifestyle in our beautiful part of Tasmania.
Identify goals
The model of service delivery focuses solely around meeting the needs of you and/or your carer. We will encourage you to identify goals, which could include independence, wellness and re-ablement. These will form the basis of your Client Agreement and Care Plan.
What do we mean when we say independence, wellness and re-ablement? Independence means we don’t start doing things for you that you can do yourself. The last thing that we want to do is make you dependent on our workers. We want to help in such a way that you are still in control of things in your life.
Wellness emphasises identifying needs, aspirations and goals to keep you independent and engaged with the community. It acknowledges and builds on strengths and has a focus on integrating support services as a path to independence and quality of life.
Re-ablement emphasises assisting people to regain functional capacity and improve independence. Like rehabilitation, it is goal-oriented and aims at full recovery where possible – it seeks to enable people to live their lives to the fullest.
