FOREWORD<br />
SAMOAN PROFILE<br />
The <strong>Diversicare</strong> Samoan Seniors’ Project 2003-<br />
2004 was a successful attempt at engaging a<br />
positive, helping and reciprocal relationship with the<br />
Samoan people in <strong>Greater</strong> Brisbane North and South,<br />
Caboolture, Redcliffe, Logan and West Moreton<br />
regions. The Seniors project process is an innovative<br />
and effective way to promote information about Home<br />
and Community Care, health and wellbeing programs,<br />
enhancing social capital.<br />
This Directory is an initiative of <strong>Diversicare</strong>, the<br />
Community Care Division of Ethnic Communities<br />
Council of Queensland and is the result of an initiative<br />
to profile the Samoan Community. Our thanks go to<br />
Ms Tusi Luafutu and Mr Jeff Ruepena, Samoan Seniors<br />
Project Officers from 2003-2004 and to the Respite<br />
workers: Leah Iumai, Mareta Vasa–Gasu, Sisifo<br />
Faraimo, Elisapete Malielegaoi.<br />
The purpose of the Directory is to:<br />
1. To provide information about the Home and<br />
Community Care (HACC) program.<br />
2. To assist Home and Community Care agencies/<br />
other service agencies to achieve their goals in<br />
meeting the needs of people from culturally and<br />
linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALDB).<br />
3. Provide information about networks, formal and<br />
informal in the Samoan communities.<br />
4. Assist and facilitate generic community services’<br />
access to Samoan appropriate resources assistance.<br />
page 3
5. Assist the Samoan communities in identifying and<br />
utilizing culturally appropriate assistance in the<br />
health, ageing education, employment and welfare<br />
sectors.<br />
We would like to acknowledge the assistance in<br />
compiling this directory:<br />
• Ms Lorraine Sing Cutler, Project Manager<br />
• Mrs Tusiga Luafutu, Project Officer<br />
• Mr Vic Tamati, Pacific Island Communities<br />
Liaison Officer<br />
• Ms Beata Drozdz, Administration Officer for<br />
formatting<br />
... and to all those who have provided comment. We<br />
hope the Directory complies with the Samoan Matai<br />
naming system and reflects the values of Fa’asamoa,<br />
the Samoan way.<br />
Disclaimer: Any errors in cultural protocols in this<br />
Directory are unintended and we apologize in the first<br />
instance.<br />
Thank you<br />

WHAT IS HOME AND<br />
COMMUNITY CARE (HACC)<br />
PROGRAM?<br />
Do you need help but want to<br />
stay in your home?<br />
Please read on and we will<br />
explain how you can be helped?<br />
Most people want to live in<br />
their home, but some frail older<br />
people and people with a<br />
disability can find this difficult<br />
without support. Help can be<br />
provided by carers (family and<br />
friends) and by HACC and<br />
other services.<br />
HACC can provide basic<br />
maintenance and support<br />
services so that frail older<br />
people and people with<br />
disability can continue to live in<br />
their community. These services<br />
provide eligible people with<br />
help at home, support in getting<br />
out into the community, and a<br />
break for carers.<br />
HACC services are offered in<br />
your home or local community<br />
and may be provided by HACC<br />
agency, community health<br />
centre or local council.<br />
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A<br />
HACC SERVICE?<br />
HACC services are for people<br />
who need help to continue<br />
living at home in the community<br />
because:<br />
• They are frail older people<br />
who have difficulty with<br />
everyday tasks, such as<br />
showering, getting dressed<br />
or doing housework, or¸<br />
• They are a younger person<br />
with a moderate to severe<br />
disability, and they are at risk<br />
of having to go into a nursing<br />
home or aged people’s<br />
hostel.<br />
• HACC services are also<br />
available for people who are<br />
caring for a frail older person<br />
or someone with disability.<br />
Additional information<br />
relating to eligibility<br />
The HACC Program is a joint<br />
Commonwealth, State and<br />
Territory initiative. The Program<br />
funds services designed to help<br />
frail older people and people<br />
with a permanent disability to<br />
live independently at home.<br />
page 5
HACC Programs assists eligible<br />
clients who need basic maintenance<br />
and support services to<br />
continue living in the community<br />
with dignity.<br />
Many older people are<br />
supported by carers who are<br />
relatives, friends or neighbours.<br />
Caring for an older person<br />
or someone with a disability<br />
can be extremely demanding<br />
and the carer can become<br />
housebound or in need of a<br />
break.<br />
Carers also need advice and<br />
support to assist them in their<br />
role. HACC recognises the<br />
role of a carer therefore some<br />
services are available to carers.<br />
(ie. respite care).<br />
While the term "older and<br />
frail persons" is used in<br />
the definition of the target<br />
population for HACC services,<br />
it should be noted that<br />
eligibility for services is based<br />
on frailty related to a disability<br />
and that individuals do not<br />
qualify for HACC services<br />
solely on the grounds of<br />
advanced age.<br />
Thus, individuals over any<br />
particular age do not qualify for<br />
HACC services on the basis<br />
of their age alone, but because<br />
they have difficulties in carrying<br />
out tasks and need assistance<br />
due to a moderate, severe or<br />
profound disability.<br />
A person assessed as having<br />
a moderate, severe, profound<br />
or functional disability, which<br />
makes it difficult to perform<br />
the tasks of daily living<br />
without help, or supervision,<br />
may be eligible to receive<br />
services.<br />
Activities of daily living include<br />
dressing, preparing meals,<br />
house cleaning and maintenance,<br />
and using public<br />
transport. Some people may<br />
need only one service (for<br />
example nursing services or<br />
personal care), while others<br />
may need a combination of<br />
services.<br />
It should be noted that for<br />
younger people with a disability<br />
there may be specific purpose<br />
programs (for example, disability<br />
rehabilitation and employment<br />
page 6
support) which may be more<br />
appropriate than the more<br />
generic services offered by<br />
HACC providers.<br />
Both older people and younger<br />
people with disabilities should<br />
be assessed on the basis of<br />
need for basic maintenance and<br />
support services.<br />
To be assisted through<br />
the HACC Program people<br />
must:<br />
• Live in the community, and<br />
• Have difficulty in performing<br />
everyday tasks because of a<br />
disability, which may require<br />
admission into long term<br />
residential care (eg. Nursing<br />
home) earlier than required<br />
without assistance from<br />
HACC services.<br />
The HACC program is intended<br />
to provide basic maintenance<br />
and support services that are<br />
cost effective and meet the<br />
needs of individuals so they can<br />
remain in the community.<br />
Basic maintenance and support<br />
services are defined as those<br />
essential to a person’s well<br />
being, for example nutrition,<br />
community nursing, home help<br />
and personal care.<br />
Others, such as information<br />
and training courses, enable a<br />
greater level of understanding<br />
and expertise to be build up<br />
among service providers and<br />
consumers about the care of<br />
frail aged people and people<br />
with disabilities and the needs<br />
of their carers.<br />
HACC services are provided<br />
to people living in the<br />
community. This includes<br />
people living in:<br />
• Their homes;<br />
• Retirement villages, boarding<br />
houses or self care units;<br />
and<br />
• Temporary accommodation<br />
when they are transient or<br />
homeless.<br />
page 7
HACC services are not<br />
generally provided to<br />
residents of:<br />
• Aged care homes, if other<br />
government funding is<br />
provided for those services;<br />
or<br />
• Retirement villages, if<br />
residents contracts include<br />
the availability for those<br />
services; or<br />
• Hospitals.<br />
HOW DO I GET HACC<br />
SERVICE?<br />
You, your doctor, a family<br />
member or friend can contact:<br />
• Commonwealth Carelink<br />
Centre (1800 052 222) to<br />
discuss your needs, or<br />
• Your local HACC Area<br />
Manager for referral to an<br />
appropriate service:<br />

Assessment<br />
In order to assess your needs,<br />
a person from a HACC agency<br />
speaks to you about how you<br />
are coping with your daily living.<br />
The information you provide is<br />
written in the HACC Ongoing<br />
Needs Identification (ONI)<br />
form. This is used by the HACC<br />
Agency to decide whether you<br />
are eligible for a service and<br />
what type of service you need<br />
to assist you to remain living at<br />
home.<br />
WILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR A<br />
HACC SERVICE?<br />
Each HACC service has its<br />
own policy on fees, but most<br />
services ask for a small contribution,<br />
depending on your<br />
situation. Special consideration<br />
is given to people with limited<br />
finances.<br />
page 8

your home.<br />
• Support services for<br />
carers<br />
As well as respite care, there<br />
are other support services<br />
for carers (see following<br />
section).<br />
INFORMATION FOR CARERS<br />
Are you caring for someone<br />
at home?<br />
Many frail older people, or<br />
people with disability, need<br />
support so they can live<br />
independently in their own<br />
home.<br />
They may be looked after by<br />
a carer who could be their<br />
spouse, partner, family member,<br />
neighbour or friend.<br />
You may be eligible for a HACC<br />
service if you are caring for<br />
someone who is a frail older<br />
person, or a person of any age<br />
who has a moderate to severe<br />
disability.<br />
Are you carer? A carer is<br />
someone who cares for people<br />
who have a disability, mental<br />
illness, chronic illness or are<br />
older and frail, and are unable<br />
to look after themselves.<br />
Caring for a frail older person<br />
or a person with a disability<br />
can be very hard, and carers<br />
may need a break, advice and<br />
page 10
support to help them cope with<br />
their caring role. If you are a<br />
carer, you may be eligible for<br />
support through HACC and<br />
other services such as:<br />
• Respite care<br />
This service gives carers a<br />
break while a respite worker<br />
looks after the person<br />
needing care. The person<br />
being cared for can receive<br />
respite care in their home<br />
or in a day respite centre. In<br />
most cases respite care is<br />
planned ahead, but it may be<br />
provided as an emergency<br />
service.<br />
• Support and information<br />
The service helps a carer<br />
find longer term respite such<br />
as temporary accommodation<br />
in a residential<br />
aged care facility or at the<br />
local hospital. The service<br />
can help find the most<br />
appropriate respite place<br />
for the person needing care.<br />
This allows carers to have a<br />
longer break from their caring<br />
responsibilities.<br />
Other support services for<br />
carers:<br />
Carers can also get support<br />
from other agencies such as<br />
Carers Queensland. This<br />
service offers carer support<br />
groups, care counselling,<br />
free resources, training and<br />
information. Contact the<br />
– Commonwealth Carer<br />
Resource Centre. This service<br />
can give you information and<br />
advice about services and other<br />
forms of help and support.<br />

RIGHTS AND<br />
RESPONSIBILITIES<br />
All HACC agencies are<br />
required by the government<br />
to meet National Service<br />
Standards in order to provide<br />
quality care. The Rights and<br />
Responsibilities described in<br />
this booklet are all related to<br />
those Service Standards.<br />
page 12
You Rights as a HACC<br />
Client<br />
As a person using HACC<br />
services, you have a number of<br />
rights. HACC service providers<br />
should recognise your right to:<br />
• Be treated with respect<br />
and courtesy<br />
Service providers must<br />
respect your ideas and are<br />
expected to show courtesy in<br />
their behaviour to you.<br />
• Be informed and consulted<br />
As a client you have the right<br />
to be informed about the<br />
service available to you, and<br />
about your rights as a client.<br />
• Be part of decisions made<br />
about your care<br />
You have the right to be<br />
in control of the care you<br />
receive by being part of<br />
planning and decisions made<br />
about the services provided<br />
to you.<br />
• Receive good quality<br />
services<br />
A service provider needs<br />
to inform you about what<br />
services it can and cannot<br />
provide. You have the right<br />
to receive a planned and<br />
reliable service.<br />
• Privacy and confidentiality,<br />
and to access all personal<br />
information kept about you<br />
by the HACC service<br />
You have the right to privacy<br />
and confidentiality and to<br />
access information about you<br />
on agency files.<br />
• Have another person of<br />
your choice support you<br />
and advocate (speak) on<br />
your behalf<br />
Everyone has basic rights<br />
as Australian citizens and<br />
these include expressing<br />
your views. It can be helpful<br />
to have family or friends<br />
to speak on your behalf,<br />
or agencies whose role<br />
is to advise people about<br />
their rights and responsibilities<br />
when receiving<br />
services. If you wish, one<br />
of those agencies can act<br />
on your behalf with services<br />
providers. Agencies like this<br />
are known as “advocacy”<br />
agencies, and people who<br />
page 13
act on your behalf, with your<br />
permission, are known as<br />
advocates.<br />
As someone using a HACC<br />
service, you have the right<br />
to involve an advocate of<br />
your choice to represent<br />
you at any time. The service<br />
must accept the advocate<br />
you choose. Your advocate<br />
can be anyone you choose<br />
– a spouse, partner, relative,<br />
neighbour, friend or someone<br />
from an advocacy service.<br />
There are independent<br />
agencies such as<br />
Queensland Aged and<br />
Disability Advocacy that<br />
can provide you with an<br />
advocate. Service providers<br />
should tell you about<br />
advocacy services when you<br />
receive a service.<br />
• Have your comments<br />
valued and to make a<br />
confidential complaint if<br />
you are not happy with the<br />
service you receive.<br />
As someone using HACC<br />
services, you have the right<br />
to give honest feedback<br />
about the service you are<br />
receiving without fear of<br />
losing the service, or having<br />
it reduced. HACC National<br />
Service Standards require<br />
services to have clear,<br />
written policies for handling<br />
complaints from service<br />
users. HACC agencies are<br />
required to make sure that<br />
their clients understand how<br />
those policies work.<br />
You have the right to have<br />
an advocate of your choice<br />
to support you in making<br />
a complaint. If you are not<br />
comfortable talking to your<br />
service provider, you can<br />
talk to an advocacy agency.<br />
page 14
Your Responsibilities as a<br />
HACC client<br />
While you have a number of<br />
Rights as a service user, you<br />
also have some Responsibilities<br />
to the people providing care to<br />
you.<br />
• Take responsibility for the<br />
results of any decisions<br />
which you make with staff<br />
and volunteers about your<br />
care.<br />
HACC services ask their<br />
clients to:<br />
• Treat staff and volunteers<br />
with respect and courtesy<br />
– for example, by letting<br />
them know as soon as<br />
possible if you cannot keep<br />
an appointment.<br />
• Provide a safe work<br />
environment for staff and<br />
volunteers, help them to<br />
provide you with services<br />
safely, and inform them if it<br />
is unsafe to visit. A HACC<br />
worker will use his/her<br />
commonsense to judge<br />
whether it is safe to visit your<br />
house at a particular time.<br />
