You can also contact the Council customer service team in person at St Kilda or Port Melbourne Council offices or by phone on 9209 6777 who will pass on your request.
HOSTING | Aged Care Information Hubs across Port Phillip
The City of Port Phillip is partnering with the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) in a community engagement initiative to promote changes to aged care.
This partnership aims to make it easier for older people, their families, and carers to:
- find out about the changes to aged care.
- access information and engage in conversations about aged care.
- share their insights and provide feedback on what’s important to them when considering aged care.
We are hosting an aged care information hub across four of our libraries in the following order:
- St Kilda library for six weeks from Monday 9 September-Sunday 20 October 2024
- Port Melbourne library for one week from Monday 21 October-Sunday 27 October 2024
- Emerald Hill library (based in South Melbourne) for one week from Monday 28 October-Sunday 3 November 2024
- Albert Park library for one week from Monday 4 November-Sunday 10 November 2024
The hub will be staffed at particular times during the week by the Aged Care team with times advertised. At other times you can also complete an enquiry form at the library, if you have questions or require further information about aged care services either for yourself, or someone that you care for.
We will hold some information sessions at the libraries including on some Saturdays. These will be advertised across Councils libraries and on the website.
