Consumer Directed Care
Direct Care Australia is all about choice and control.
We are committed to giving people and their caregivers more say over the type of care they receive and who provides it. With this in mind, DCA's top priority is to ensure that the people we support receive regular visits from our skilled, qualified, and nurturing support workers.
We concentrate on developing relationships and trust.
We know how much these simple regular activities, such as preparing delicious meals, having lively chats over a cuppa, going for a gentle daily walk in nature and the nurturing companionship of a regular visitor, can extend the life of those we love.
