Helping Hand Position Statements

We believe it is important that we let clients; their families, friends and supporters; and our workforce know where Helping Hand stands on important aged care issues. We have produced Policy and Position Statements which describe what we think about an issue and why.  As always, we would love to hear your views on these issues and on our current position.
