PRESIDENT S REPORT My dear members and representatives of member organisations It is with a sense of satisfaction, I write this annual report sharing some of the activities and success of our Association over the past year. It Is a time to take stock and look back on the past year. The Home Care Package Program and the Home and community Care Program have continued to deliver a high quality of service with all our clients being treated with respect, dignity, kindness and compassion, The number of Home Care Package Clients we provide support for has increased from 41 last year to 50 this year and the trend is increasing with a number of HACC clients being transitioned to the HCP program. The HCP program will continue to grow with more clients requiring assistance under a Home Care Package. The Home and Community Care Program has been steadily growing and has performed well exceeding the contracted Hours of service. From 1st July 2018 the HACC program will be called the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and will be funded by the Federal Government. The staff have been working hard to prepare for the transition of clients from HACC to CHSP. In December 2017, Triple a Care commenced providing Disability support services and we now support 5 Clients. We also underwent a quality Audit by the Department of Communities for the Disability Services and I am pleased to advise that we met all six standards. We also provided respite services on a short term basis to Clients in need which is funded by the Commonwealth Care link and Respite centre. We continue to assist people in need through the provision of Emergency Relief funding and food vouchers. This service is available at our offi ce in Gosnells and at our offi ce in the City. As is customary, the spirit of Christmas was celebrated at the Australian Asian Association by inviting members of various faiths to share with us the joy of the Festive season. Children were entertained to various activities while the adults enjoyed listening to carols and afterwards to a delicious lunch. The celebration of Harmony Day was another colourful extravaganza of music and dance. Our Youth coordinator and the team that supported the event did a marvellous job to show case the various cultural dances from across the globe under the one roof. I thank the coordinators and all staff for their dedicated and tireless service in enabling us to achieve another successful year. I take this opportunity to also thank the various funding bodies, the Department of Health and Ageing, WA Department of Health, Lottery west, Offi ce of Multicultural Interests, Department of Communities for their continued support. In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge the hard work and the support I receive from the General Manger, Mr Romello Anandappa and to the Board members my sincere appreciation for your readiness to help and commitment to the organisation. My sincere good wishes. Mrs Marlene Burnaby President 2

ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 GENERAL MANAGER S REPORT The Australian Asian Association of WA Inc Trading as Triple A Care as had a very successful year. The Home Care Packages program has steadily grown with the number of packages we service increasing to 50. The HACC Program also performed well meeting and exceeding the contracted hours of service delivery. The program returned the unused funds from previous years to the department thereby incurring a loss for this fi nancial year $ 190,000. Triple A Care commenced disability support services in December 2017 and currently provide services to fi ve clients. We also had our fi rst Quality Review Audit by the Department of Communities; Disability Services and I am pleased to note that we met all six standards. I congratulate the staff in achieving this excellent result and wish to thank Dushy, Brian and the support staff for the hard work carried out to achieve this outcome. We continue to provide respite services to clients funded by the Commonwealth Respite and Care link Centre. This year we organised a cultural evening at AAA to celebrate Harmony Week and over 13 communities participated in the celebrations. We also organised a day of celebration in honour of Mother s Day. We continue to provide emergency relief services on Tuesdays and Wednesdays funded through Lotterywest at our offi ces in Gosnells and in the City. I offer my sincere thanks to the Staff and all the support workers for the excellent work carried out through the year. I wish to thank the funding bodies for their continued support and the President and the Members of the Executive Committee for their support and guidance throughout the year.

Triple A Care The Australian Asian Association of WA Inc HOME CARE PACKAGES (HCP) The Home Care Package Program continued to be delivered to all our clients successfully with a high standard of service. The Home Care Services were delivered with dignity, respect, patience, understanding, kindness, compassion, loving care and effi ciency and the feedback we received from our clients has been very positive. We had 41 clients at the end of June 2017 34 level 2 clients and 7 level 4 clients. and at the end of June 2018 we were able to increase the number to 50 clients 2 level 1 clients, 31 level 2 clients, 3 level 3 clients and 14 level 4 clients. Overall growth a healthy 22%. We had altogether 18 new clients who joined the Home Care Program in the past year and 13 of these clients were upgrades from the HACC Program, other 5 clients were new clients. During the year under review 2 clients passed away, 5 clients moved to Residential Care/Nursing Home facilities, 1 client moved to another service provider. The Home Care program employed 45 support workers from different communities to provide services to our clients. The support workers performed all the duties entrusted to them very well and all our clients were very happy with the services they received. The policy of our organization to provide dedicated support workers to all clients has been well received by our clients, their families and the AQRA staff. We have engaged trainers from recognized training organizations to conduct regular training programs for our support workers to improve their knowledge and skills so that they can continuously improve the standards of service that we provide our clients. The Home Care package program has gone through many changes in the last few years. From February 2017 on-wards all approved service providers became eligible to provide services for all levels of Home Care from level 1 4. Due to this change we now deliver home care services to 17 level 3 and 4 for who need high care including nursing. Before that we could provide home care only to level 2 clients. Providing care for level 3 and 4 clients has been a good experience for us. Triple A Care has been recognized by the various ACAT teams at the hospitals to have the ability and support workers to provide culturally appropriate Home Care to clients from CALD communities. Since February 2017 all referrals now come through the Myagedcare system after the assessments are done by the ACAT teams. ACAT teams can still provide information/guidance to clients when specialized services are required and to direct them to service providers who can deliver such services. I would like to place on record our appreciation for the cooperation and understanding we have established with the Dept. of Health, Dept of Human Services and Myagedcare for the implementation of the Home Care Program. We thank the staff at these Govt. organisations for their support. The AAA Aged Care Management group meetings which are chaired by me have progressed well. During the year under review we had meetings in September 2017, December 2017, March 2018 and June 2018. We have an elite group of members in this committee representing different community groups. I would like to place on record the support received from the AAA staff and the members of the Executive Committee to successfully operate the Home Care Program. We have built up a very cordial and excellent working relationship with all our clients and support workers and we will endeavor to further improve on the service standards and the quality that we have established.
