Support through COVID-19

It’s been a big week for everyone in Australia this week, as we’ve seen a steep increase in the number of people falling ill with COVID-19.

Older Australians are considered vulnerable to this disease, and there are many people who were in care as children who now fall into this group.

Find & Connect support services provide support to people who were in care between 1920 and 1990. COVID-19 has meant that there have been some changes in the way that support can be provided.

As the states and territories implement changes depending on their individual circumstances, the way each support service responds may be a little different.

We’ll keep you updated about what you can expect when you contact the support services as quickly as we can.

If you’re concerned about accessing support in your state or territory, you can check their page on Find & Connect:
