Local Area Coordinator(LAC) - Moora

WA, Australia

The Disability Services Commission provides Local Area Coordination support throughout all regional areas of WA. Local Area Coordinators (LACs) are based in local communities enabling support to be personalised, flexible and responsive. LACs aim to build and maintain effective working relationships with individuals and families in their local area Local Area Coordination is available to people with physical, sensory, neurological, cognitive and/or intellectual disabilities who are under the age of 60 at the time they apply for LAC support. The LAC operates as a service coordinator rather than a service provider and, as such, can help the person with a disability and their families/carers to plan, select and receive needed supports and services. The overall aim of Local Area Coordination is to support people with disabilities to live within welcoming and supportive communities.

Hi i'm a 34 year old pensioner with a disability I have recently been a victim of family violence. I have 3 children. My 10yo lizard was fed to my dogs as well as all my food in the cupboard, my front door was kicked in so currently has no door knob and can't be locked, my daughter was terrorizes where he stood in her room with a knife and all our clothing and most bedding was cut up. I have spoken to centrelink who cannot help me because the perpetrators address wasn't mine, I have tried welfare agencies who for the past 3 days have been full by the time I get through on the phone and no one seems to be concerned or worried about the after effects. If anyone can please help please let me know.

I'm trying to live and pay bills on less $100 per fortnight and desperately need some vouchers for fresh vegies and meat and any other assistance available. I'm an aged pensioner.
