$9 million of funding awarded for delivery of Commonwealth Home Supports Programme

We worked with clients in Perth, Sydney, Toowoomba and Melbourne in their successful applications to deliver aged care supports in high demand regions across the country. Funding was recurring for 3 years, equating to a total funding amount of almost $9 million.
