Commonwealth Home Support Program
We provide culturally appropriate Aged Care and Disability services to promote independence at home and in the community for our Elders and those with disabilities. Your quality of life can be significantly improved by contacting the CHSP team and arranging to have your intake and Assessment completed. These services can be accessed by under 50’s that have a diagnosed disability. Please contact us for more information.
MVAC takes a three-pronged approach to Robinvale district health services: firstly with a holistic approach to Aboriginal welfare, secondly with targeted health and wellbeing programs at a local level that promote an integrated healthy lifestyle for all members of our community, and; thirdly with direct community involvement of health services like the Robinvale Medical Clinic.
We employ doctors, Aboriginal health workers, midwives, maternal child health nurses and allied health providers to deliver the full range of services to better manage the health of our community. We are an AGPAL accredited practice, meaning you can count on us to provide the very best quality care. We are a member of the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO), reflecting our commitment to community control and empowerment.
