The group identified current services available and existing local initiatives being developed to respond to COVID-19 which will assist elderly, vulnerable and ill or self-isolating people in the community.

 

The principal objective of the group is to support the containment of COVID-19, minimise its impact and facilitate the most appropriate community response to the needs of elderly, vulnerable and ill or self-isolating people living in the community where their usual sources of support become unavailable.
