The challenge of an ageing population is at Australia’s front step. We, as service providers, need to prepare well in the planning and implementation of appropriate programs that will cater for all including individuals from the CALD communities.

Good Practice & Innovative Service Models Concurrent Sessions Session 5 – Isolation Patricia Roberts, Coordinator, Indigo Shire Planned Activity as a Meaningful Experience in the Indigo Shire Towns of Kiewa, Kergunyah, Tangambalanga and Sandy Creek Background In July 1998 Indigo Shire commenced the Community Meal project in the small town of Tangambalanga servicing the isolated areas of Kergunya, Kiewa and Sandy Creek. This region is a small pocket of the shire situated in the North Eastern part of Victoria bordering the neighbouring Shires of Towong, Alpine and Wodonga. The response to this project indicated that there were older people and families who fell within the HAAC target group who were isolated and receiving no services. After conducting a survey and consultations with small Community Groups funding was received to set up a Planned Activity Group to service this area in 2001. Role of PAG in the Broader Service System The aim of the service is to bring people from outlying farms and townships who were socially isolated together where they would be able to join in different recreational activities Generate and recapture the feeling of community which had been lost because of age or disability Go on outings selected by Client Group Share interests Pass on generational skills to younger people in the community by participating with the local school on combined projects Form alliances with other PCP partnerships and engage in “Healthy Communities Projects” Provide flexible options for participants of target group The presentation will include: Statistics showing population and % of service anticipated in the area Demographic information Barriers confronting program 37
