Multicultural Community Advisory Service (MCAS) provides information, support, counselling and advocacy services for people over 65, people with a disability and their carers from diverse cultural backgrounds. We help people to:
- better understand and manage challenges and difficulties relating to ageing, disability and/or caring;
- use services and resources that can help them;
- maintain their health and well-being; and
- stay active and independent in their home and community.
The service is free and professional health care interpreters can be provided.
