  The Blackall Range Care Group.

The Blackall Range Care Group is an incorporated community-based organisation. Its role is to assist frail older people, people with disabilities and their carers, who are residents of the Blackall Range. This covers the townships of Maleny, Montville, Flaxton, Mapleton and surrounding districts.

The Blackall Range Care Group is mostly funded by the HACC (Home & Community Care Program) which is a cost shared program between the Commonwealth and State Governments. Through the program, financial assistance is provided for services which enable people to remain in their own homes, rather than residential care and to maintain quality of life. Other funding comes from within the Community and by application for grants for one off capital items.

Because of the beauty and peace of the area, it is the target of many to retire to the Range, and the proportion of population now becoming aged is one of the highest in Queensland. Blackall Range Care Group provides a very comprehensive range of services at low cost to the consumer and with the care and dedication of skilled staff.

A simple phone call from yourself, a friend or a relative, or referral from your doctor will be responded to with a visit from one of our staff. This would be arranged at a time to suit you. On the first visit staff will undertake a simple assessment to determine your eligibility and discuss your needs with you so that a care plan can be developed. A flexible range of services can be tailored to meet your individual needs.
