Our service and care principles – in all that we do, we aim to
    •   treat everyone with respect and courtesy;
    •   recognise that everyone is different, possesses unique individual experiences and background and therefore has something to contribute;
    •   make sure people who use our services, their family and carers have timely access to accurate and quality information, necessary to make informed choices about
        the type of care and support they require.
    •   provide support and guidance to those that use our services, and their carers to offer choice in the administration and delivery of services;
    •   work with those that use our services and their carers to provide a clear and comprehensive care plan outlining agreed services, and regularly review care needs
        and services, especially if individual circumstances change;
    •   assist people who use our services and their family/carers in navigating the assessment and referral process, to help facilitate access to services and collaborate
        with other agencies where necessary, to enhance service outcomes;
    •   securely manage personal information, to ensure privacy and confidentiality;
    •   encourage and respond to comments and/or complaints about your care and services; and
    •   explain our fees and charges and be open and transparent in our billing practices.
