Brimbank City Council respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people as the Traditional Custodians

of the land and pays respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Council acknowledges that Aboriginal Victorians are more likely to provide care to a friend or family member than

non-Aboriginal Victorians, and recognises the importance of kinship structures in care relationships and prioritising

culturally appropriate services when working with Aboriginal carers.

Council recognises and respects the longstanding care Aboriginal people have provided to the land and waters on

which the Brimbank municipality sits.

Introduction

Carers play an invaluable role in the Brimbank

community, providing unpaid care and support to family

members and friends who have a disability, mental

illness, chronic or terminal illness, an alcohol or drug

related problem, or who are frail-aged.

Carers come from all life stages and cultural backgrounds,

and take on a range of different caring responsibilities,

from assistance with daily tasks to social support,

interpreting and advocacy for those they care for.

While caring can be incredibly rewarding, it can also have

impacts on carers’ social lives, financial prospects and

their own health and wellbeing. Carers face competing

demands in their caring role and daily lives, and there can

be challenges ensuring they get access to the services

available to support them.

Over recent years there have been major changes

within the disability and aged care sectors, led by the

introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme

(NDIS) and My Aged Care. Systems of supporting carers

in their caring role have similarly been changing at a

state and federal level.

Access to these government initiatives vary amongst

community members, due to a range of local cultural

and socio-economic factors and the availability of local

specialised support services. Data and feedback from

local networks in Brimbank signify that there are gaps

in service delivery and a significant cohort of unseen

carers in the community who are not accessing supports

available to them.

Carers of all ages and background were impacted

significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions not

only saw the loss of jobs and social opportunities, but

the suspension of many support programs and respite

opportunities for carers, exacerbating the pressure of

caring responsibilities and increasing experiences of

loneliness and isolation. The impacts of the pandemic will

be both short and long-term, and consideration for carers

in the longer-term COVID-19 recovery process is vital.

Brimbank City Council’s (Council) first Carer Support

Plan 2022-2025 has been developed to acknowledge

the significant role of carers in the community, and to

position Council to respond to the diverse range of carer

support needs and interests within an evolving funding

and service delivery environment.

The Plan will build stronger service partnerships with

key agencies, through which Council can broaden the

range of supports available, and improve accessibility

of programs for Brimbank residents, regardless of their

age, socio-economic context, and English language

proficiency.

Brimbank Carer Support Plan 2022 – 2025 1

Scope and Purpose

The Brimbank Carer Support Plan 2022-2025 (Plan) is a

Council-wide plan putting carers at the centre of short

and medium-term actions to be implemented over the

next three years.

All actions have been developed to align with the five

priorities of the Victorian Carer Strategy 2018-2022, to

support Council to contribute to the Strategy’s state

wide vision that all carers

The five priorities are that carers:

1. are

2. are supported in

environments

3. can

support and services that meet

their needs

4. have

5. are

.

1

Council plays a range of roles in providing support for carers

in Brimbank, and all actions set out in the Plan include

those activities that Council can

and

for to achieve this state-wide vision.

1

Victorian Carer Strategy 2018-2022, p 23

Council develops

and strategies to

drive to guide its work with carers and care

recipients, and to ensure a coordinated

approach to service planning.

Council is funded to

a range of supports to

carers from all life stages through its Community

Care services, which provide a range of in-home,

centre and community based programs to enhance

carer wellbeing and assist with service navigation.

Leisure Centres, Libraries and Neighbourhood

Houses provide community facilities and deliver

health, wellbeing and social programs and access to

information and technology.

Council facilitates a range of

and

networks to strengthen service connections and

improve accessibility for carers. Many Council

programs are delivered in partnership with key

agencies such as Carers Victoria, Carer Gateway

and the National Disability Insurance Scheme

(NDIS) local area coordination provider the

Brotherhood of St Laurence.

Council can

and work with state

government funding bodies, and apply for funding

opportunities to build the suite of services and

programs for carers in Brimbank.

2 Brimbank Carer Support Plan 2022 – 2025

Funding Context

Carer Gateway

The Carer Gateway is a federal government initiative

providing a single point of entry for carers to access

information, advice and support through a national

helpline and website. Support can include coaching,

counselling, social programs, courses and emergency

and planned respite.

The Carer Gateway is available to all unpaid Australian

carers in ongoing caring roles for six months or over,

and eligibility is not affected by other government

programs, such as the NDIS or Support for Carers

Program. Merri Health is the Carer Gateway provider in

the Brimbank municipality.

Support for Carers Program

The Support for Carers Program (SCP) is a state

government initiative, intended to supplements gaps

that are one-off and not met by other programs. Support

can include person-centred respite, and one-off or

short-term supports including goods and equipment.

The SCP is available to all unpaid Victorian carers, and

eligibility is not affected by other government programs

such as the NDIS and the Carer Gateway. The SCP

Guidelines were updated in 2019 to include carers of all

ages, including young carers. Council is a SCP provider in

the Brimbank municipality, alongside Carers Victoria and

other not-for-profit providers.

Home and Community Care Program for

Young People

The Home and Community Care Program for Younger

People (HACC-PYP) is a state government initiative

providing support for younger people with disabilities

and their unpaid carers, to assist people to live as

independently as possible. Support can include home

maintenance and housework, personal care, respite and

group activities.

The HACC-PYP is for people aged under 65, or

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged under

50, who need assistance with daily activities. It is not

an entitlement program and carers of NDIS participants

are not eligible for the program. Council is a HACC-PYP

provider in the Brimbank municipality, alongside other

not-for-profit providers.

My Aged Care

My Aged Care is a federal government initiative

comprising of the Commonwealth Home Support

Programme (CHSP) and Home Care Packages (HCP),

providing support for older people who require help

to stay at home and maintain their independence.

Support can include assistance with daily tasks, home

modifications, transport, social support and nursing care.

My Aged Care is for people aged 65 or over (50 or over

for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people), or 50

years or over and on a low income, homeless or at risk

of being homeless (45 years or over for Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islander people). Council is a CHSP provider

in the Brimbank municipality, alongside other private

providers.

National Disability Insurance Scheme

The NDIS is federal government initiative funding

costs associated with disability, through which

individuals or their guardians select providers to

supply goods and services. NDIS funding is eligible to

people under the age of 65 living with a ‘permanent

and significant’ disability. The Brotherhood of St

Laurence is the Local Area Coordination agency for

the NDIS in the Brimbank municipality.

Brimbank Carer Support Plan 2022 – 2025 3

Council Position

Statement

The Brimbank Social Justice Charter 2018 identifies

carers as

’.

2

The

Charter drives Council to reduce barriers faced by carers

through the provision of equitable services and programs.

While carer support has traditionally had a one-size

fits-all approach, Council is committed to establishing a

practice of working closely with carers and carer support

agencies, towards a model of flexible and carer-centred

service provision.

Our Work So Far

Across recent funding and service delivery changes,

Council has sought to improve its reach and engagement

of carers and prioritise programs and funding targeted

to individual carer needs through the following recent

initiatives:

1. A

n

to design and deliver

carer programs and to act as a liaison for carers in the

community.

2. A

developed to better

determine the level of supports available to carers

and prioritise support to those carers with the

greatest need.

3. A centralised Council

process to

better match carers with services.

4. Expanded

for individual carers and service users.

Principles

The Plan’s principles will follow those of the Victorian

Carer Strategy 2018-2022, which will underpin all

actions of the Plan:

• ‘Carers are

as

individuals, with equal rights to achieve their unique

health, social, education, employment and financial

goals as other Victorians.

• ‘Carers are involved and their

are reflected in the design and delivery

of services.

• ‘Services

on how well carer

needs are met using feedback from carers to improve

support.

• ‘Carers are recognised as being from

, and for

providing support to a variety of people with a variety

of unique needs.

• ‘Information for carers is

in places where carers go.’

Brimbank Policy Context

The Plan has been developed to be implemented

alongside key interlinking Council plans and initiatives,

which provide complementary actions relating to the

interests of carers.

Together We Are Brimbank

Together We Are Brimbank incorporates the Community

Vision 2040, the Council Plan 2021-2025 and the

Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan. The documents

sets out the Brimbank community’s twenty year vision,

captured by Council’s four year vision of

. This vision is supported by four key Strategic

Directions: People and Community; Places and Spaces;

Opportunity and Prosperity; and Leadership and

Governance.

Brimbank Age Friendly City Plan

2018-2022

The Brimbank Age Friendly City Plan aims to ensure

services for older people in Brimbank are coordinated,

accessible and responsive. Based on the World Health

Organisation’s (WHO) Age Friendly Cities framework, it

focuses on eight domains including safe and accessible

public spaces, built environments and transportation

related infrastructure to create opportunities for ageing

people to live active and fulfilling lives.

5

Brimbank Disability Action Plan 2022-2026

The new Brimbank Disability Action Plan (DAP) builds

upon Council’s previous three plans and incorporates

the needs and aspirations of people with disability and

their carers identified through extensive community

consultation. As a result, shared themes sit across the

DAP and Carer Support Plan, which will work together

to represent and implement the unique and shared

interests of carers and their care recipients. Monitoring

of the DAP is overseen by the Brimbank Disability

Advisory Committee (DAC).

6

Brimbank Disability Hub Feasibility Study 2018

The 2017-2020 DAP included the action:

, consistent with a Year One action

of the 2017-2021 Council Plan. In response, Council

undertook a Disability Hub Feasibility Study to examine

models of disability hubs and what a ‘hub’ meant to key

stakeholders, through consultations with the Brimbank

Disability Network Group (BDNG) and the DAC.

Due to the diverse and complex needs and issues

identified, the Feasibility Study found that the allocation

of a physical space or an information focal point alone

would not adequately respond to this range of needs. In

June 2018, Council endorsed a suite recommendations

prioritised in consultation with the BDNG and the DAC,

whose implementation sit across Council departments.

The Carer Support Plan plays a role in the continued

implementation of the Feasibility Study across four key

recommendations, which can found in Appendix One.

Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre:

Promoting Access, Inclusion and

Engagement Report 2021

The Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre: Promoting

Access, Inclusion and Engagement Report outlines how

the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre (BAWC) will

provide support and engagement to carers and people

with a disability through programs, services and use of

the spaces and facilities. The Report:

• Provides an overview of related Council policy, plans

and strategies

• Summarises Council’s existing Community Wellbeing

Directorate programs and services for people with

disability and carers

• Outlines how a space for carers that is safe, private

and low sensory can be provided at the Centre.

8

Whilst Council will continue to develop our existing

facilities, programs and services to better support

and welcome carers, we will also continue to explore

opportunities for dedicated spaces.

State Legislation and

Policy Context

Victorian Local Government Act 2020

The Act guides the operation of local government and

seeks to improve democracy, accountability and service

delivery for all Victorians. The Act states that all Council

services should be delivered equitably, and accessible

and responsive to the diverse needs of the community.

9

The Charter of Human Rights and

Responsibilities Act 2006

The Act ensures that human rights are valued and

protected within government and the community

across Victoria, and that all arms of government

should contribute to the protection and promotion

of human rights in Victoria. Public officials, including

Council officers, are required to respect and promote

human rights by making decisions and providing

advice consistent with human rights and by actively

implementing, promoting and supporting human rights.

10

Victorian Carers Recognition Act 2012

The Act promotes and values the role of carers and

formally acknowledges the important contribution that

people in care relationships make to the community. The

Act is supported by The Victorian Charter Supporting

People in Care Relationships.

The Act applies to organisations that are responsible for

developing or providing policies, programs or services

that affect people in care relationships, including

local government authorities. Under the Act, local

government is required to take all practical measures to

reflect the Act principles in developing, providing and

evaluating support for people in care relationships.

11

Victorian Carer Strategy 2018-2022

The Strategy is the state’s first whole-of-government

framework specifically targeting carers.

The Strategy draws upon consultation with 1,500

carers and members of carer support organisations to

set the direction for government in addressing the key

needs, interests and challenges of carers across five key

priorities.

Who are Carers?

The definition for carer under the Victorian

is someone who gives unpaid care

and support to a relative, partner or friend who:

• has a disability

• is older

• has a mental illness

• has an ongoing medical condition (terminal or chronic

illness).

The Act also includes situations where someone

is being cared for in a foster, kinship or permanent

care arrangement, under the

.

13

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)

Census, there are approximately 703,000 carers in

Victoria, including 221,300 primary carers.

14

Seventy

percent of primary carers are female, with an average

age of 55 years.

In the 2016 Census 18,395 Brimbank residents reported

as providing unpaid assistance to a person with a

disability, long-term illness or old age that year, or 11.6%

of the population aged 15 years and over. The chart

below displays the breakdown of sex and age group of

carers in Brimbank.

15

Chart one: Brimbank carers by sex and age group,

ABS Census 2016

Chart two: Brimbank SCP recipients by age range

Local data indicates there will be an increase of over

6,000 people in Brimbank requiring assistance by 2031,

likely leading to a significant increase in the number of

local carers and the demand for carer support services.

Chart two summarises the projected growth in the

number of people with disability in Brimbank across all

age cohorts from to 2031 (from 2016).

Chart three: Projected growth of people with disability

in Brimbank 2016-2031

Carers come from all age groups, walks of life and

varieties of caring relationships. Age, gender, sexuality,

cultural background, socio-economic status and

geographic location can impact on the caring role and

carers’ access to services and government support.

Nearly one in ten carers in Victoria are aged under 25.

Caring can significantly impact children and young

people’s social lives and educational prospects.

may require information in languages other than

English, or take on English interpreting support for their

care recipients. Services do not always have bilingual

staff or an understanding of different cultural, religious

and spiritual contexts that may impact on caring

relationships.

18

These factors can create additional

barriers for CALD carers accessing support.

Health and Wellbeing

According to recent national carer consultations, carer

wellbeing is considerably lower than that of the general

population. The Carers Australia National Carer Survey

2020 found that nearly half of the carers who responded

reported high or very high psychological distress.

19

The

Caring for Others and Yourself Carer Wellbeing Survey

2021 found 50% of carers surveyed reported they

regularly felt they had lost control of their life and their

health was negatively impacted by their caring duties.

20

Chart five: Brimbank SCP recipients by hours spent per

week in their caring role

Workforce and Financial

Balancing the demands of work and caring is

challenging, and one in five carers will eventually give up

work to focus on the carer role. The Caring for Yourself

and Others Carer Wellbeing Survey 2021 found that

52.8% of carers surveyed reported that their household

financial wellbeing was either very poor, poor or just

getting along financially, compared to just 33.8% of

Australians; and 52.1% feared they may not be able to

continue caring for the people they care for.

Chart six: Brimbank SCP recipients by

employment status

Social

The Brimbank Loneliness and Isolation Framework

identifies carers as a key cohort at risk of loneliness

and isolation, caused by the competing demands of

caregiving. The Framework is proposed to be integrated

into the Brimbank Mental Health and Wellbeing Plan

2022-2024 in development. The Caring for Yourself and

Others Carer Wellbeing Survey 2021 found that 35.1%

of carers surveyed reported often or always feeling

lonely, compared to 11.1% of Australians; and that up to

57% regularly experienced negative impacts on their

social life, fear of not having enough money, overload of

responsibilities, and concern about whether they could

continue providing care.
