On the 6th July 2017, President Chen of the Whittlesea Chinese Senior Association Senior Citizens Group invited the Chinese Nurse Association Australia (CNAA) to visit their community gathering to share on the topic of Home Care Packages to 50 seniors. We received great support from President Chen who prepared and guided the running of this gathering. She gave us the chance to connect with the seniors within the Northern Metropolitan of Melbourne. Chinese Nurse Association Australia is proud to have this opportunity to bring more information and knowledge about this care to the Chinese seniors of this group.
The event was held under the chairmanship of President Chen and their members listened attentively to the details of this talk. The Registered Nurse of our association first asked the members to understand the basic services of the Home Care Package service; they then discussed ways to understand eligibility and subsidies levels. The attendants also showed great interest in the talk leading to an interactive and harmonious environment.
As the Chinese senior community continues to expand and increase by dramatic numbers, the senior need more ways to understand about the care that is available to them and the support to allow them to maintain active lifestyles. Through this opportunity to meet with our Registered Nurse, we hope they are able to understand more about the various care options and benefits of these to their care.
Chinese Nurse Association Australia also hopes we have many more opportunities to connect with this association to bring awareness on various other health related topics.
Within the recent days, volunteers of Chinese Nurse Association Australia has assisted many within Whittlesea Chinese Association Senior Citizens Group will submitted referral application to the My Aged Care team for a comprehensive assessment of their individual situation. At Chinese Nurse Association Australia, we hope to help more seniors obtain the care that they deserve and to reduce carer stress and burdens from increasing needs.
We would once again like to express our gratitude to all volunteer members of Chinese Nurse Association Australia, President Chen and the members of Whittlesea Chinese Association Senior Citizens Group for allowing this connection to occur.

在2017年7月6日，澳洲維省威特西華人老人聯誼會的陳會長這天特別邀請了我們澳大利亞華人護士協會（CNAA）到訪他們的社區會堂，為當地近50名中老年人講解了關於政府補貼的在家養老方式：“綜合家庭護理服務配套”。我們不但獲得了陳會長的貼心支持，她為本次講座精心籌備和指導，還讓我們接觸到了更多北區的華裔中老年人們，同時我們也了解到了他們對在澳大利亞生活和養老方面的需求，我們護士協會能在此機會為我們的華裔年長者們帶來更多的養老護理方面的信息和知識感到非常的榮幸。
活動在陳會長為本次講座的致詞下開展，他們的會員們都專心地聆聽我們講座的細節。本協會註冊護士先讓會員們認識綜合家庭護理服務配套的基本服務內容，政府的政策，再和他們探討獲取資格和津貼的步驟。他們積極的詢問和互相討論，氣氛融洽。
華人年長者在澳洲社區不斷的擴大，年長者們需要更多更完善的養老方式和護理員來支持他們在本地的生活，更要獲得足夠的社交機會，身心都受益。現在北區的長者們在陳會長愛的帶領與幫助下，能夠有不少聚守一堂的機會，互相認識和關懷。本協會也希望能夠再次得到與陳會長合作的機會，合力把更多的老人福利資訊帶到當地社區。
近日來，我們護士協會為上百名華裔年長者們向政府遞交了申請，我們的義工成員們忙碌著，為了年長者們早日獲得一個可以由政府補貼下的，在家養老的護理指標，為了減輕他們家人的負擔，為了我們華裔人們的生活質量的和指數的更加提高，勤奮的努力的工作著。
特此我們向我們協會的全體義工成員表示中心的感謝!!!
