Emergency and Respite Care Plan Templates
Yarkuwa has worked in consultation with Aboriginal carers to develop Emergency and Respite Care Plan Templates that suit the needs of our community. Simple design: Our local carers wanted a very simple template, with no images or decorations. Their priority was that it was easy to understand and to fill out. Multiple formats: There are a range of options, from a basic template (with only Emergency Medical Details) to the more detailed version (the Emergency/Respite Care Plan). Wearable plans: So Care Plans can be with the carers or care recipients at all times, the plans can be saved on a wearable USB bracelet or summarised inside a small plastic sleeve that is designed to be clipped onto clothing. There is also a simpler plan template that can be folded up to fit into a wallet. |
Deniliquin Deadly Carers Cookbook
The Deniliquin Deadly Carers Cookbook has been developed as an initiative of the Aboriginal Carers project. The Cookbook includes recipes that have come from the Deniliquin community and are a combination of healthy, nutritious and easy recipes for every family member. This is in recognition that many carers have limited time to produce meals in addition to the range of other duties associated with the carer’s role. The Cookbook highlights that it’s easy to eat (tyaka) healthy on a budget and that you can buy a lot more food if you spend money on basic healthy foods. Download the cookbook (PDF) |
