ACARES currently provides support in Victoria, New South Wales and SE Queensland.
Do you have a wait list?
The wait list may depend on the support required and whether the request is for accommodation or in home care. It is best to call us on 1300 303 770 to find out more.

Can I choose which support workers will be on my program?
Absolutely, our programs are focused entirely on client choice. Client input in the selection of support workers is encouraged.
Can I complain if I am not happy with the service or support workers?
We welcome all feedback and encourage clients to report both positive and negative experiences, including issues regarding support workers. It is important that individuals are happy with their program and they have the right to complain if their expectations are not met.
